Interpreting and Producing Velocity-Time Graphs

Physics Buggy Experiment

Learning Goal:

  • to be able to fully describe the differences between position and displacement
  • to determine the relationship between position and time of an object moving in a straight line
  • produce graphs of linear motion and analyse slopes

Learning Goals:

  • At the end of this lesson you should be able to:
    • interpret the meaning of the slope and y-intercept of a position time graph, and
    • produce the equation of the line of best fit for an object moving with a constant velocity.

We discussed the interpretation of the experiment report using a PearDeck activity. This should prepare you for your experiment write up. If you have any questions, please se me in class.

Learning Goals:

  • At the end of this lesson you should be able to:
    • use multiple modes of representation (graphs, motion maps, equations, descriptions, etc.) to describe the motion of an object moving with constant velocity.

Activities:

  • 1.1.04 - CVPM Practice 2
    • In this activity you will be using graphs of motion to determine differences and similarities between the motion of two objects.
  • 1.1.05 - CVPM Practice 3
    • In this activity you will be producing multiple representations of motion. Motion Maps, position time graphs and verbal descriptions.
