Motion Graph

The document discusses different types of graphs that can be used to represent the motion of objects, including position-time graphs where the slope represents speed, speed-time graphs where changes in slope indicate changes in acceleration or deceleration, and ticker tape diagrams that show the position of an object over time through a series of snapshots. These various motion graphs provide visual ways to describe and understand how the speed and position of an object changes throughout its movement.

OBJECTIVES
1. describe the motion of objects in relation to the slope
of the line on a distance-time graph and speed-time
graph; and

2. create motion graphs to represent the motion of


objects;
How do you describe motion?
Describing the motion of an object is occasionally
hard to do with words.

Sometimes charts and graphs help make motion


easier to picture, and therefore better to understand.

MOTION GRAPHS
• Motion graphs are useful and effective tools
in visually presenting the motion of objects.
By examining the slope of the graphs, we can
obtain meaningful amount of information
about the objects’ motion.
SLOPE
POSITION VS TIME GRAPH
- It is also called distance vs time graph.

- It describes the speed because the slope of the


line of position versus time graph is the speed
of a moving object.
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS
Plotting distance against time can tell you a lot about motion. Let's look at
the axes:
• If something is moving at a steady
speed, it means we expect the same
increase in distance in a given time.

• Time is increasing to the right, and


distance is increasing steadily with
time.
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS
A horizontal line
parallel to the x-axis
has a slope of zero

object is at rest
speed = 0
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS
 curving upwards.
 shows an increase in speed,
since the line is getting steeper
 In other words, in a given
time, the distance the object
moves is changed (getting
larger).
 It is accelerating.
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS
 curving downward in
constant speed
 A downward sloping line
means that the object moves
toward the reference point
or position
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS
 A steeper slope indicates a
larger distance moved in a
given time. In other words,
higher speed.
 This is shown in yellow.
