Velocity vs. Time Graphs • The graph shows the velocity of an object at different times • The positive quadrant indicates that the object is moving in the forward direction • The negative quadrant indicates the object is moving in the backward direction • The zero bar indicates the object is not moving • The further the graph gets from the zero bar, the faster the object is moving • The closer the graph gets to the zero bar the slower the object is moving

Bike F Bike G • Create a position vs. time graph and a velocity

Bike F Bike G • Create a position vs. time graph and a velocity vs. time graph for the bee’s motion. Include at least six “trips” from one bicycle to the other. Choose the origin to be Bike F’s position at t = 0. • Construct a distance vs. time graph and a displacement vs. time graph for the bee’s motion. • Challenge: Create a series that calculates the distance the bee travels for n trips. The nth term of the series should be the distance of the nth trip.

Tools for Describing Motion • Qualitative descriptions/stories • Position vs. time graph – Slope

Tools for Describing Motion • Qualitative descriptions/stories • Position vs. time graph – Slope = velocity, y-intercept = initial position – Reference point is the “ 0” position – Direction determined by proximity to reference point • Position equation (constant velocity):

Another Tool: Motion Maps • Motion maps are bridges between the motion stories and graphs • Imagine taking pictures of a moving object, one every second, and putting them together • • How can we see the position of the car? Where do we see the time? How can we see the car’s velocity? How can we determine the direction of motion?
