Unit 1 Motion

Which situation best matches the motion shown by the motion map in this picture?

• A ping pong ball is shot at a can of soda and slows down after contact with the can

• A cart is pushed gently up a ramp and comes back down the ramp

• A runner runs at a sprint and then switched directions and runs back to the start point while slowing down.

• A dog runs towards a squirrel speeding up, until the squirrel reaches a tree. The dog then turns around and runs back to it's house speeding up.

On a motion map, how can you tell when an object is slowing down?

• The dots are close together the entire time

• The dots are far apart the entire time

• The dots get closer and closer together as time goes on

• The dots get further and further as time goes on

On a motion map, how can you tell when an object is speeding up?

• The dots are close together the entire time

• The dots are far apart the entire time
