Graphical Representation of Motion

On a motion graph, any line going down means...

• we are headed someplace very deep (and scary, too).

• we are headed away!

• we are headed home!

• we are so lost...so very, very lost. Help- bring tacos.

Motion graphs are used to represent...

• things going up and down.

• objects speeding up and slowing down due to friction. Wow, that sounds good!

• changes in distance and time of an object in motion.

• me...the represent me. Yeah, that's right!

On a motion graph, the more steep a line is...

• the higher we are going.

• the slower we are going.

• It's impossible to know from this- I mean really, what a lame question. It actually makes no sense. Not only that, but I have a cold and I'm really hungry. Why won't anyone bring me a pizza, or a taco, or anything at all to eat.

• the faster we are moving.
