Motion Graphs

Front

What does a motion graph represent?

Back

A motion graph visually represents the relationship between distance and time for an object in motion.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is not moving.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a motion graph represent?

Back

A straight diagonal line indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

How do you calculate speed from a motion graph?

Back

Speed can be calculated using the formula: speed = distance / time.

Front

What does a steeper slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

Front

What does a curved line on a motion graph signify?

Back

A curved line indicates that the object's speed is changing (accelerating or decelerating).

Front

What happens during the interval from point E to F on a motion graph?

Back

During the interval from point E to F, the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

What does the area under the line on a motion graph represent?

Back

The area under the line represents the total distance traveled by the object.

Front

What does a line that slopes downwards indicate on a motion graph?

Back

A line that slopes downwards indicates that the object is returning to the starting point.

Front

What is the significance of point C to D on a motion graph?

Back

From point C to D, the object is not moving.
