Motion Graphs (p. 93 -94 in notebook)
Interpret The Graph Below: (As time increases, …. )
Interpret The Graph Below: The graph shows an object which is not moving (at rest). The distance stays the same as time goes by because it is not moving.
Interpret The Graph Below:
Interpret The Graph Below: The graph shows that the objects distance increases as time passes. The object is moving and so it has velocity. The straight line shows it is a constant (not changing).
Interpret The Graph Below:
Interpret The Graph Below: Just like the previous graph, this graph shows an object moving with constant velocity The object moves backwards
Interpret The Graph Below:
Interpret The Graph Below: The curve in the graph shows that the objects velocity is increasing as time passes. This is acceleration.
Interpret The Graph Below:
Interpret The Graph Below: In the first part of the graph the object is moving with constant velocity. In the second part of the graph the object is at rest (not moving). In the third part the object is again moving with constant velocity, backwards.
Speed (m/s) Velocity vs. Time Graph AKA Speed vs. Time Graph SAME
Interpret The Graph Below:
Interpret The Graph Below: The graph shows that the objects velocity does not change as time passes. It shows constant velocity.
Interpret The Graph Below:
Interpret The Graph Below: The graph shows that the object’s velocity is increasing as time passes – it is positive acceleration. The straight line shows that it is constant acceleration.
Now make a tree map: Graphing Velocity and Acceleration Distance vs. Time Graph Velocity vs. Time Graph __________________ __________________ __________________
Distance vs. Time Summary • Flat, horizontal line means: STOPPED; no Motion • Up and to the right means: Moving forward steadily
Distance vs. Time Summary • Down and to the right means: Returning to the start • Curved line means: Increasing speed: Going faster
Velocity (Speed) vs. Time Summary • Flat, horizontal line means: CONSTANT speed; going the Same speed during that time • Up and to the right means: Steadily acclerating
Velocity (Speed) vs. Time Summary • Down and to the right means: Steadily negatively Accelerating [decelerating] • Curved line means: Increasing/changing acceleration
BOTH graphs: • *The steeper the slope, the faster the speed! Faster because It is closer to being vertical! Slower because It is closer to being horizontal!
