Introduction to Motion

The slope of a distance vs time graph defines the

• speed / velocity

• acceleration

• force

• displacement

What does this graph represent?

• no speed / not moving

• accelerating

• constant speed forward

• constant speed backward

from 11:00 to 12:00, describe the motion

• no speed / not moving

• accelerating forward

• negative distance

• constant velocity

Describe the motion from 3.5 sec to 5.5 sec

• not moving

• constant speed forward

• constant speed backward

• accelerating to the negative

Describe the motion from 0s to 1s

• positive constant velocity

• negative constant velocity

• accelerating forward

• not moving

From 9:00 to 11:00 the following events are happening EXCEPT

• constant velocity

• positive velocity

• moving forward

• moving backward

Everything below can be seen in this graph EXCEPT

• he had instances of constant velocity

• he had instances of moving forward

• he has instances of accelerating

• he had instances of not moving
