Speed and Motion Graphs Review

Master speed and motion graphs! Calculate speed, interpret distance-time charts, and analyze average speed.

Here is a video about speed. Fill in the chart. Use the calculator to figure out the speed. Distance (m) Time Speed- Write only the number 9 25 0.36 14 4 3.5 356 16 22.25 1460 500 2.92 During which segment was the car going the fastest? Segment 1 Segment 2 Segment 3 Segment 4 Distance-Time Graph Video Look at the Distance-Time Graph and match the line segment to the motion of the object. O-A Moving away at a slow and steady speed. A-B Stopped B-C Moving away at a fast and steady speed. C-D Returning at the fastest speed. Bus Route Graph - remember, average speed is total distance traveled / total time elapsed Question Answers - only write the number What was the bus' speed up to 1 hour? 2 How far did the bus go in 5 hours? 18 What was the bus' average speed at 5 hours? 3.6 Match the graph to the Description Description Graph 1. the car is stopped C 2. the car is traveling away at a constant speed A 3. The speed of the car is decreasing D 4. The car is traveling back toward you at a constant speed B
