PS Motion Maps

Front

What is a motion map?

Back

A visual representation that shows the position of an object at different times, illustrating its motion over time.

Front

What does a forward motion map indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving in the positive direction, which is typically to the right on a graph.

Front

What does a backward motion map indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is moving in the negative direction, which is typically to the left on a graph.

Front

What does it mean when a motion map shows an object getting faster?

Back

It means that the object's speed is increasing over time, represented by increasing spacing between the dots on the motion map.

Front

What does it mean when a motion map shows an object slowing down?

Back

It means that the object's speed is decreasing over time, represented by decreasing spacing between the dots on the motion map.

Front

What does a constant velocity motion map look like?

Back

It shows equal spacing between the dots, indicating that the object is moving at a steady speed.

Front

How can you tell if an object is at rest on a motion map?

Back

If the dots on the motion map are all in the same position, the object is at rest.

Front

What does a motion map with dots getting closer together indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is slowing down.

Front

What does a motion map with dots getting farther apart indicate?

Back

It indicates that the object is speeding up.

Front

What is the significance of the direction of arrows in a motion map?

Back

The direction of the arrows indicates the direction of the object's motion, whether forward or backward.
