HANDS-ON PHYSICS
MOTION GRAPHS…

Motion graphs allow us to see visually the movement of an object during its journey. A distance-time graph shows how far an object has moved against time. In physics, we can calculate the speed of the object at any point on the graph by finding the gradient of the graph.

Let’s set things in motion…
Build your own motion graph car and see if you can predict the correct graph before creating one with your car.
