Motion graphing

What does the slope of each line on the graph tell you?

• The speed of each runner
• The acceleration of each runner

Which runner complete the 100 meter race in the least amount of time?

• Albert
• Bob
• Charlie

Which runner started out the fastest?

• Albert
• Bob
• Charlie

What do you think the cyclist is doing between 11am and 1pm?

• The cyclist has stopped for lunch
• The cyclists is riding at a constant speed on flat ground
• The cyclist is practicing sprints
• The cyclist is riding up a hill

The 2 objects have the same average speed over the 7 seconds. Why?

• Both objects traveled the same distance in the same amount of time.

• The graph for Object B is steeper at the end of the time.

• Object B has sections of zero speed while Object A is never stopped

• The final position on the graph for Object A is much greater.

What is happening in section C?

• going down a hill

• speed is increasing

• speed is decreasing

At which position is the object accelerating the fastest?

• c

• k

• neither because they are slowing down, which isn't acceleration

How Far did object A travel from 0-7 seconds?

• 1 meter

• 2 meters

• 3 meters

• 4 meters

What is the line on this graph showing?

• moving away from starting point at a constant speed
• moving back towards the starting point at a constant speed
• acceleration (getting faster)
• deceleration (getting slower)

What does this graph represent?

• Constant speed
• Acceleration
• Not moving
