: How to write a paragraph describing motion? I'm doing a lab report for a general physics course, and for a written portion I have to describe the motion of an object given by a position vs time graph. How do I stretch this

Since the graph shows each distinct position along a time line, you can focus your written description on the trends exposed by the graph.

As the graph above clearly reveals, the position of the widget rose sharply over the first half of the procedure, then leveled off for most of the remaining time. There are two distinct exceptions to this general trend. At 4:32, the widget reversed its sharp incline for 15 seconds and at 4:45, it plummeted for 10 seconds following nearly 4 minutes of stability.

From there, you can explore the causes of the unexpected values and the causes of the originally identified general trend.
