Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What does a graph of motion typically show?

Back

A graph of motion shows how an object's position changes over time.

Front

What is a constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What does it mean when an object is at rest?

Back

An object is at rest when it is not moving and its position does not change.

Front

How can you determine the time it takes for an object to travel a certain distance from a graph?

Back

You can determine the time by looking at the point on the graph where the object reaches that distance.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows a horizontal line?

Back

A horizontal line on a graph indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

What is the significance of the slope of a line on a motion graph?

Back

The slope of a line on a motion graph indicates the speed of the object; a steeper slope means a faster speed.

Front

What does it mean if two objects have different slopes on a motion graph?

Back

Different slopes indicate that the objects are moving at different speeds.

Front

How can you tell if one object is faster than another on a motion graph?

Back

You can tell if one object is faster by comparing the steepness of their slopes; the steeper slope indicates a faster speed.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows a line that goes back to the starting point?

Back

It means the object has returned to its original position.
