Motion Graphs Part 1

Motion Graphs Part 1

How can we mathematically model motion?

Multiple Choice

Is your graph....

• straight and ascending (going to the right in an upward fashion)

• straight and descending (going to the right in a downward fashion)

Multiple Choice

What would be her speed?

• 5 m/s

• 500 m/s

• 0.2 m/s

Multiple Choice

Is she

• moving at a constant speed

• increasing her speed

• decreasing her speed

Multiple Choice

If I know the slope of the line, I know

• the speed

• the time

• the distance

Multiple Choice

From the previous slide, which was faster, the blue line/car or the red line/car/steeper?

• Blue line/car

• Red line/car

Multiple Choice

If an object is slowing down, the motion graph will show a

• line that is descending (going down and to the right)

• line that is ascending (going up and to the right)

Go and graph your two objects motion from our project

Post your graph into your Motion and Scientific Method PFA page in your notebook like the other graphs!

How far are you with completing your 1st project?

• Completed and turned in on Summit

• Completed but not yet turned in on Summit

• Half way done

• Not started

Go get your project done if it is not completed and work on our Power Focus Areas (Motion or Forces)
