1.3 motion flash cards

Front

A skateboarder rolls across the park at a constant speed. What would this distance/time graph look like?

Back

The graph is a straight line because the distance covered per unit of time is constant (never changes).

Front

An object moves 10 meters in 1 second, stays motionless for 1 second, then moves 10 meters in 2 seconds. What would this distance/time graph look like?

Back

These parts of the graph show an object moving (distance) over time. Flat part shows no movement as time goes on.

Front

A vehicle first travels at a constant speed and then slowly coasts to a stop. What would this distance/time graph look like?

Back

The graph shows that, as the vehicle slows to a stop, it will cover less and less distance with each second (deceleration).

Front

A jet aircraft takes off from an airport runway and quickly climbs to 500 meters in altitude. What would this distance/time graph look like?

Back

As you go higher up, the graph shows you go a faster and faster distance each second. It's like speeding up as you climb (positive acceleration).

Front

Which graph shows the fastest pitcher?

Back

Pitcher 1! They can throw the same distance but faster!

Front

What is Motion?

Back

When something changes position

Front

What two things are used to measure motion?

Back

Distance and time

Front

What is distance?

Back

how far something moves from its starting point to its ending point
