About this resource

This quiz focuses on motion maps in physics, specifically analyzing one-dimensional kinematics through dot diagrams that represent an object's position at regular time intervals. The content is appropriate for high school physics students in grades 9-12, as it requires understanding of fundamental concepts including velocity, acceleration, displacement, and the mathematical relationships between position and time. Students must demonstrate their ability to interpret visual representations of motion, distinguish between constant and changing velocities, determine direction of motion, calculate speeds using position and time data, and connect motion maps to mathematical models expressed as position-time equations. The questions assess critical thinking skills in analyzing motion patterns, comparing relative speeds of different objects, and translating between graphical representations and algebraic expressions that describe linear motion. Created by Philip Sumida, a Physics teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding of kinematic concepts before progressing to more complex motion analysis. Teachers can effectively use this as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge about motion representations, as guided practice during instruction on motion maps, or as homework to reinforce classroom learning about one-dimensional kinematics. The quiz aligns with Next Generation Science Standards HS-PS2-1, which requires students to analyze data to support claims about forces and motion, and supports Common Core Mathematics Standards HSA-CED.A.3 in representing constraints by equations and interpreting solutions as viable combinations in applied contexts. This assessment helps students build the foundational skills necessary for success in more advanced physics topics including two-dimensional motion, forces, and energy.

If the dots represents 1-second intervals, which of these is the best mathematical model to represent the motion map?

x = (2 m/s)t + 2 m

x = (0.5 m/s)t + 2 m

x = (2 m/s)t + 0 m

x = (0.5 m/s)t + 7 m
