Open Ended

What is the difference between the motion of the object in lines B and D? Explain your answer.

Multiple Choice

A bug travels up a tree, from the ground, over a 30-second interval. It travels fast at first and then slows down. It stops for 10 seconds, then proceeds slowly, speeding up as it goes. Which sketch best illustrates the bug’s distance (d) from the ground over the 30-second interval (t)?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Open Ended

Make up a narrative that could explain the distance vs time graphs below. Explain what is happening for each segment.

Use the  GroGebra interative graph on the next slide  to compare a position -time graph, a velocity-time graph, and an acceleration time graph. 

1. Use the graphic organizer given in class. 

2. Manipulate the Velocity-time graph until you have recreated the following position time graphs .

3. Draw and label the corresponding velocity -time and acceleration -time graphs in your notebook. 

   1. At rest  ( Stationary)

   2. Constant speed

   3. Acceleration

   4. Deceleration
