Exploring Time and Motion

A distance-time graph represents the temperature over time.

A distance-time graph represents the relationship between distance traveled and time taken.

A distance-time graph shows the speed of an object.

A distance-time graph indicates the direction of travel.

Speed is found by averaging the distances.

Speed is determined by the y-intercept of the graph.

Speed is determined by the slope of the distance-time graph.

Speed is calculated by the area under the graph.

Cyclic motion, linear acceleration, angular momentum

Static motion, dynamic motion, uniform motion

Linear motion, rotational motion, oscillatory motion

Translational motion, vibrational motion, periodic motion

An example of uniform motion is a car traveling at a constant speed of 60 km/h on a straight highway.

A bicycle accelerating down a hill.

A train coming to a complete stop at a station.

A person jogging at varying speeds in a park.

The object is accelerating.

The object is at rest.

The object is moving at a constant speed.

The object is moving in a circular path.

Non-linear motion only occurs in three-dimensional space.

Linear motion is always faster than non-linear motion.

Linear motion can only be horizontal, not vertical.

Linear motion is straight-line movement, while non-linear motion involves curved paths.

Speed = Time / Distance

Speed = Distance + Time

Speed = Distance - Time

Speed = Distance / Time

A straight line indicates constant speed.

Acceleration is shown by a horizontal line.

A vertical line represents acceleration.

Acceleration is indicated by a curved line on a distance-time graph.

Linear motion

Rotational motion

Translational motion

Centripetal motion

A steep slope indicates low speed.

A steep slope shows no movement at all.

A steep slope represents a constant speed.

A steep slope signifies high speed.
