Describing Motion with VelocityTime Graphs （描述运动的速度时间图）.pdf

Motion in One Dimension Name: Describing Motion with Velocity-Time Graphs Read from Lesson 4 of the 1-D Kinematics chapter at The Physics Classroom: /Class/1DKin/U1L4a.html /Class/1DKin/U1L4b.html /Class/1DKin/U1L4c.html /Class/1DKin/U1L4d.html MOP Connection: Kinematic Graphing: sublevels 5-8 (and some of sublevels 9-11) Motion can be described using words, diagrams, numerical information, equations, and graphs. Describing motion with graphs involves representing how a quantity such as the objects velocity = changes with respect to the time. The key to using velocity-time graphs is knowing that the slope of a velocity-time graph represents the objects acceleration and the area represents the displacement. Review: 1. Categorize the following motions as being either examples of + or - acceleration. a. Moving in the + direction and speeding up (getting faster) b . Moving in the + direction and slowing down (getting slower) c. Moving in the - direction and speeding up (getting faster) d. Moving in the - direction and slowing down (getting slower) Interpreting Velocity-Graphs 2. On the graphs below, draw two lines /curves to represent the given verbal descriptions; label the lines /curves as A or B. A Moving at constant speed in - direction A Moving in + direction and speeding up B Moving at constant speed in + direction B Moving in - direction and speeding up A Moving in + direction and slowing down A Moving with + velocity and - acceln B Moving in - direction and slowing down B Moving with + velocity and + acceln A Moving with - velocity and - acceln A Moving in + dirn, first fast, then slow B Moving with - velocity and + acceln
