Constant Velocity Motion Lesson

Which of the following statements would be true about the dot diagram for an airplane taking off from an airport?

• The dots would form an evenly spaced pattern.

• The dots would be far apart at the beginning, but get closer together as the plane accelerated.

• The dots would be close together to start with, and get farther apart as the plane accelerated.

• The dots would be close together to start, get farther apart, and become close together again as the airplane leveled off at cruising speed.

A squirrel descends an 8-m tree at a constant speed in 1.5 minutes. It remains still at the base of the tree for about 2.3 minutes, and then walks toward an acorn on the ground for 0.7 minutes. A loud noise causes the squirrel to scamper back up the tree in 0.1 minutes to the exact position on the branch from which it started. Which of the following graphs would accurately represent the squirrel´s vertical displacement from the base of the tree?

• Graph A

• Graph B

• Graph C

• Graph D
