Chapter 4 motion graphs
What are the three ways a car can accelerate? • speeding up • slowing down • turn the steering wheel
SI Units for motion • distance • meters (m) • time • seconds (s) • speed • (m/s) • velocity • m/s and direction • acceleration • m/s2
Position (distance) vs. Time Graphs At rest, no change in position
Position (distance) vs. Time Graphs The objects shown by the yellow and blue lines are covering equal amounts of distance in equal amounts of time. The velocity of the object can be calculated by evaluating the slope of each line, or one point along each line. Yellow line (constant speed of 3 m/s) Blue line (constant speed of 1 m/s)
Position (distance) vs. Time Graphs The object represented by the yellow line is covering a greater amount of distance with each unit of time that passes. (it is speeding up) Changing distance over time or acceleration.
Position (distance) vs. Time Graphs Constant speed
Distance vs. Time Graphs Yellow line represents faster constant speed
Distance vs. Time Graphs Slower then faster constant speed
Distance vs. Time Graphs Constant speed, at rest, constant speed
Velocity vs. Time Graphs Constant speed
Velocity vs. Time Graphs Acceleration
Velocity vs. Time Graphs Deceleration or negative acceleration
Velocity vs. Time Graphs Yellow line represents faster acceleration
Velocity vs. Time Graphs Constant speed of 30 m/s
Velocity vs. Time Graphs Red line represents faster rate of deceleration (3 m/s2) .
Velocity vs. Time Graphs Red line represents faster acceleration, blue line represents deceleration.
