A horizontal line means the object is moving at a constant ... speed. The steeper the line, the greater the increase in speed. The area under the graph = the distance travelled. This is a speed ...

During that time ... a constant acceleration. Finally, let me leave you with just one homework assignment. See if you can create the same (or at least very similar) position vs. time graph ...

Let me start with a graph. This shows the horizontal acceleration of the pod as a function of time. Here the pod accelerates at 9.8 m/s 2 for 2.6 minutes and then travels at a constant speed.
