Learning objectives

◼Plot a distance-time graph.


◼Interpret the graph whether the
motion is stationary or moving.
Lesson 4: Motion Graphs

◼How can we represent motion with a


graph?

◼A simple way of representing motion


is by using a distance-time graph.
Distance-time graph
- A graph is a diagram showing
relation between variable quantities
- It has an x – axis and a y - axis

Distance – time
graph

Distance -> y-axis


(position)
Time -> x axis

How to interpret a d-t
graph

◼If the line is_____________


-> the object is not
moving
-> it is stationary

◼If the line is_____________


-> the object is moving.
-> the speed is steady
or
constant B SLOPE = D/T = 10 / 2 = 5

◼The __________of the line


-> represents the speed
-> also called “_______”

◼If the line is __________


-> changing speed
-> accelerating or
decelerating

SLOPE = speed
SLOPE = Y axis / x axis
Speed = distance / time

◼The slope of the line


-> represents the speed
-> also called “gradient”

◼If the line is not straight


-> changing speed
-> accelerating or
decelerating

SLOPE = speed
SLOPE = Y axis / x axis
Speed = distance / time

◼If the line is ___________
-> the object is not moving
-> it is stationary
◼If the line is ___________
-> the object is moving.
-> the speed is steady or
constant (not
changing}
-> the steeper the slope,
the faster the object
is moving.
◼The _________ of the line
-> represents the speed
◼If the line is __________
-> changing speed
