Understanding Motion for Grade 6

Velocity measures distance only, not direction.

Speed is scalar; velocity is vector (includes direction).

Speed is always greater than velocity.

Speed can be negative, while velocity cannot.

70 km/h

120 km/h

60 km/h

50 km/h

An example of uniform motion is a car traveling at a constant speed of 60 km/h on a straight road.

A person walking in a zigzag pattern across a park.

A train accelerating from a stop to a high speed.

A bicycle moving at varying speeds on a hilly terrain.

Circular motion is the movement of an object along a circular path, influenced by a centripetal force.

Circular motion is the oscillation of an object back and forth in a circular pattern.

Circular motion refers to the linear movement of an object in a straight line.

Circular motion is the rotation of an object around its own axis without any external force.
