Motion Graphs: Displacement-Time
Students will interpret and draw displacement-time graphs to describe motion.
Key Questions
- Analyze the motion of an object from the gradient and shape of its displacement-time graph.
- Construct a displacement-time graph for a given scenario involving changes in velocity.
- Predict the relative positions of two objects based on their displacement-time graphs.
