Motion Graphing

Front

What is motion graphing?

Back

Motion graphing is the representation of an object's movement over time using graphs, showing how position changes with time.

Front

What does a constant speed graph look like?

Back

A constant speed graph is a straight line that slopes upwards, indicating that the object is moving at a steady pace.

Front

What does acceleration mean in motion?

Back

Acceleration refers to the rate at which an object changes its velocity, meaning it is speeding up.

Front

What does deceleration mean in motion?

Back

Deceleration is the reduction in speed or the rate at which an object slows down.

Front

How do you calculate distance using speed and time?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

If a bicyclist travels at a speed of 10 m/s for 5 seconds, how far do they travel?

Back

50 m.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance ÷ Time.

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed, meaning the object is moving quickly.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis on a motion graph?

Back

The y-axis typically represents distance or position.
