Unit 2 Lesson 3- How can you predict patterns of motion?

Which of these is an example of back and forth motion

• A bowling ball rolling down a lane

• a child moving on a swing

If you kick a soccer ball forward, what kind of motion will it move with and why?

• Motion in a line because gravity is pulling it down

• Circular motion because because gravity pushes it back

• learn about the object from what happened in the past
