II. Motion Diagrams

Plots of motion data — a detailed, visual way of describing motion

Both plots show an increasing displacement. Describe the velocity for each.

Constant velocity displacement plot

Constant Velocity

Increasing velocity displacement plot

Increasing Velocity

A. Displacement vs. Time Plot

Ex) (d) Displacement (m)

Displacement vs time plot

Calculate the Velocity from 2 to 4 sec

V = Δd/Δt = (10. m − 5.0 m)/(4.0 s − 2.0 s)

= +2.5 m/s

Velocity from 4 to 6 seconds?

= +2.5 m/s

Displacement vs time plot showing backward motion

What is happening from 6 to 8 seconds?

Motion map
Motion Map — 5 m in 2 sec / 5 m in 2 sec / 5 m in 2 sec, 10 m backward in 2 sec

Slope of a d vs. t graph = velocity

Describe the Various Motions Shown in This Plot

Displacement vs time plot with points A through E

A to B?

Constant Velocity

B to C?

Increasing V, then Decreasing V

D?

Rest, V = 0

D to E?

Increasing V
