Motion Graphs - Mr. Pelker Physics

A measurement of how fast an object is moving

• Velocity
• Speed
• Vector
• Acceleration

Describe the motion of the object in the graph

• Moving with constant speed

• Speeding up

• Not moving

This is a velocity-time graph. What is the object doing in segment A?

• Speeding up

• Slowing down

• Constant Velocity

• Not moving

Morgan walks 10 miles South. Trevor walks 10 miles North in the same amount of time.  They have:

• Different average speeds
• Different velocities
• Same velocity
• Same motion

This is a velocity-time graph.  What is the object doing in segment B?
