1 Forces and Motion Lesson 3 – Interpreting Motion Graphs Ms. Newsome and Ms. Tripp 8 th Grade Science

2 Word Wall Slope- a number that describes both the direction and steepness of a line. Steeper line = faster speed Velocity- rate of motion in a specific direction Accelerating- speeding up or when an object changes speed or direction Decelerating-slowing down or stopping

3 Motion Graph Lines Straight lines- constant speed Horizontal line-no motion, 0 (zero) speed Curved line- changing slope, indicates linear acceleration or a change in speed

4 Motion Graph Lines Positive sloped- (upward) motion away from the reference point (starting point) Negative sloped- (downward) motion back towards the reference point (starting point)

Motion Graphs Describing the motion of an object is occasionally hard to do with words. Sometimes graphs help make motion easier to picture and therefore.

Graphing a Change in Motion. Motion Motion is when the distance from one object to another is changing Distance is the entire path an object travels.

Interpreting Motion Graphs {Forces and Motion. Distance vs Time Graphs The motion of an object is defined by its change of position over a period of time.

Diagrams and Motion Graphs.  The slope is equal to the acceleration.  Because we only consider constant acceleration, v/t graphs will always be straight.
