Graphs of Motion Please read about acceleration on pages 64 and 65. Be prepared to define acceletation. Objective(s)/SWBAT (Students will be able to): Analyze motion graphs Graphically determine displacement, velocity, and acceleration Activities: Demonstrate motion graph analysis Students do problem 56 and 57 on page 45 Closure: Student summarize and answer questions Keystones: 3.2.B

Students will be able to: Analyze motion graphs Graphically determine Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration. Keystones: 3.2.B

Let’s measure an Acceleration. Initial Velocity Final Velocity Time interval Keystones: 3.2.B

Find velocity at 5 s

Check velocity at 5 s

A1 A2 Determine displacement in first 10 s

Check displacement after 10 seconds

Determine acceleration

Summary The slope of a position vs. time graph yields velocity. The slope of a velocity vs. time graph yields acceleration. The area under the curve of a velocity vs. time graph yields displacement. Keystones: 3.2.B
