Motion and force
Master motion and force concepts with our interactive worksheet! Practice speed, acceleration, and graph interpretation.
What is this Distance graph showing? Constant Speed positive acceleration negative acceleration No Motion What is happening at point A? negative acceleration Constant Speed positive acceleration No Motion Which runner won the race (ran the farthest the fastest)? A B C On this Speed graph, during which interval is the object not moving? B to C D to E Point H only Point A only During which interval is the object decelerating? C to D F to G E to F A to B What is this Distance graph showing? Constant Speed Acceleration No Motion A speed graph shows us how the speed of a moving object - looks at one moment in time changes over time slows down at the end of a race On a speed graph, what does a downward sloping line indicate - the object is speeding up the object is turning around the object is slowing down the object is remaining in one spot An object "in motion" means the object must be - slowing down speeding up changing position stopping A distance graph can be useful when calculating - an object's speed an object's mass an object's location at any given time an object's volume Suppose that you run along three different paths from location A to location B. Which path(s) show that your distance traveled is different than your displacement? Observe the diagram below. A person starts at A, walks along the bold path and finishes at F. Each square is 1 km along its edge. Use the diagram in answering the next two questions. The displacement for A to E is 3 km 4 km 8 km 11 km The distance for A to E is 3 km 4 km 8 km 11 km Sort the descriptors to each term by clicking and dragging. velocity m North speed with direction distance + direction constant speed acceleration m North change in rate of speed change in velocity slowing down speed m How fast your going distance Which diagram shows balanced forces? Which diagram shows movement to the left? Determine the force and direction of movement. 1 N left 1 N right 7 N left 8 N right
