Motion Graphs

What is this Distance graph showing? Constant Speed slowing down Deceleration No Motion What is happening at point A? Deceleration Constant Speed Acceleration No Motion Which runner won the race (ran the farthest the fastest)? A B C Which runner stopped for a rest? Albert Bob Charlie During which interval is the object decelerating? C to D F to G E to F A to B What is this Velocity 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 Let's do a fun puzzle.
