Motion Diagram

This motion graph represents:

• an octopus hiding before swimming home.

• an octopus pausing before pausing some more.

• an octopus resting before swimming out to sea, far, far from home.

• an octopus waving all of its tentacles in a mad, happy flurry of holiday cheer!

What does this motion graph represent?

• I walked home, played Fortnite for a while, then ran away as fast as I could.

• I walked home, played Fortnite for a while, then I decided to buy a new game- one that wasn't you know, lame!

• I walked home, played Fortnite for a while, then cried for all the time and money I've wasted on such a terrible game...

• I walked home, played Fortnite for a while, then studied for my science test.

• Wow! I just wanted to see if I could add a 5th answer- this totally worked! By the way, the Fortnite servers are all down tonight.

Motion graphs are used to represent...

• things going up and down.

• objects speeding up and slowing down due to friction. Wow, that sounds good!

• changes in distance and time of an object in motion.

• me...the represent me. Yeah, that's right!

On a motion graph, the more steep a line is...

• the higher we are going.

• the slower we are going.

• It's impossible to know from this- I mean really, what a lame question. It actually makes no sense. Not only that, but I have a cold and I'm really hungry. Why won't anyone bring me a pizza, or a taco, or anything at all to eat.

• the faster we are moving.
