5.P.1.3 Motion Graphs

Front

What is a motion graph?

Back

A motion graph is a visual representation of an object's movement over time, showing how its position changes.

Front

What does a flat line on a motion graph indicate?

Back

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

Front

What does a steep slope on a motion graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

Front

What does a downward slope on a motion graph show?

Back

A downward slope shows that the object is moving back towards the starting point.

Front

What does an upward slope on a motion graph indicate?

Back

An upward slope indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point.

Front

How can you tell if an object is speeding up on a motion graph?

Back

If the slope of the graph is getting steeper, the object is speeding up.

Front

How can you tell if an object is slowing down on a motion graph?

Back

If the slope of the graph is getting less steep, the object is slowing down.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a motion graph mean?

Back

A horizontal line means the object is moving at a constant speed.

Front

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

Back

The x-axis typically represents time.

Front

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

Back

The y-axis typically represents the position or distance of the object.
