    The document contains a series of questions about motion graphs and concepts like velocity, speed, and reference points. It asks the student to identify terms, analyze graphs of distance over time, calculate speeds and velocities, and describe motion patterns. Several questions involve interpreting graphs of distance versus time for objects like runners, cars, and a bicyclist's trip. The student provides short answers and explanations for their reasoning.

    Motion Graph Practice Questions


    From the list below, choose the term that best completes each sentence. Write your answers on the line
    provided.

    Motion Velocity
    Reference point Speed

    1. An object is in Motion when its distance from a(n) Reference point is changing.

    2. Speed in a given direction is called Velocity

    3. Speed can be calculated if you know the distance that an object travels in one unit of time.

    4. Which of the following graphs shows runners moving at the same speed? Explain/show your work.

    D, Because both of the line has a same gradient.

    5. Which graph below shows that one of the runners started 10 yards further ahead of the other? Defend
    your answer.

    A, Because it started difference with 10 yards, but the


    destination point is same.
    6. Match the descriptions below with the graphs. Be sure to explain your answers.

    Descriptions:
    1. The car is stopped. 3. The speed of the car is decreasing.
    2. The car is traveling at a constant 4. The car is coming back.
    speed.
    Graph A matches description 2 because The slope is keep increasing.

    Graph B matches description 4 because The slope is going decreasing.

    Graph C matches description 1 because Because the line is horizontal. Which means, it does

    not have any movement.

    Graph D matches description 3 because The slope was increased, but it is going decreasing.

    Use the following paragraph and graph to answer questions 7-10. Write your answers in the blanks
    below each question. Remember to include units and show your work.

    On Saturday, Ashley rode her bicycle to visit Maria. Maria’s house is directly east of Ashley’s. The graph
    shows how far Ashley was from her house after each minute of her trip.

    7. Ashley rode at a constant speed for the first 4 minutes of her trip.
    What was her constant speed?
    200m/min

    8. What was her average speed for the entire trip?


    160m/min
    9. What was her average velocity for the entire trip?
    160m/min

    10. Ashley stopped to talk with another friend during her trip.
    How far was she from her house when she stopped?
    800m
    11. Match the descriptions below with the graphs. Be sure to explain your answers.

    Descriptions:
    5. The car is stopped. 7. The car is accelerating
    6. The car is traveling at a constant 8. The car is slowing down
    speed.
    Graph E matches description 7 because The slope is increasing.

    Graph F matches description 8 because The slope is decreasing.

    Graph G matches description 6 because Because there is no change on slope.

    Graph H matches description 5 because The line is horizontal and line is on bottom of the

    graph.

    12. Which runner won the race? Explain your answer.


    Albert
    13. Which runner stopped for a rest? How long was the stop?

    Charlie
    14. How long did Bob take to complete the race? Explain your answer.
    14 Second
    15. Calculate Albert’s average speed.
    8.3 m/s
    16. Choose the correct words form the following list to describe the motion during each segment of the
    journey to fill in the blanks.

    • Accelerating
    • Decelerating
    • Constant speed
    • At rest

    Segment 0-A The bus is Accelerating. Its speed changes from 0 to 10 m/s in 5 seconds.

    Segment A-B The bus is moving at a Constant speed of 10 m/s for 5 seconds.

    Segment B-C The bus is Decelerating. It is slowing down from 10 m/s to rest in 3 seconds.

    Segment C-D The bus is At rest. It has stopped.

    Segment D-E The bus is Accelerating. It is gradually increasing in speed
