Motion Graphs Worksheet:

1. The graph below describes the motion of a fly that starts out going right.

15.0

10.0

V(m/s)

5.0

time (s) 5 10 15 20

-5.0

-10.0

-15.0

a. Identify the time interval(s) where the fly moves with constant velocity.

b. Identify the time interval(s) where the fly moves right slowing down.

c. Identify the time interval(s) where the fly moves left speeding up.

d. When is the fly at rest?

f. What is the distance traveled by the fly in this time interval?

i. What is the total displacement of the fly from 0 to 22 seconds?

j. Identify the times when the fly changes direction.

2. Little Joey plays with his remote control car, and generates the motion graph below. The car starts by moving eastwards.

a. Identify section(s) where the car moves with constant velocity.

b. Identify section(s) where the car moves west.

c. Identify section(s) where the car speeds up.

d. When is the car at rest?

h. What is the total displacement of the car from 0 to 22 seconds?

1. What is the distance the object traveled during interval A?

2. What is the distance the object traveled during interval B?

3. What is the distance the object traveled during interval C?

4. What is the distance the object traveled during interval D?

5. What is the distance the object traveled during interval E?

6. What is the displacement of the object from start?

Instructions: For the next questions, be sure to label your axis.

7. Sketch a velocity-time graph for an object which first moves with a constant speed in the + direction, and then moves with a positive acceleration.

8. Sketch a position-time graph for an object which moves in the negative direction at a slow constant speed and then in a positive direction at a fast constant speed.
