Forces and Motion: Catergorising Motion


Motion:
Motion is the movement of someone or something in a particular direction at either a fast or slow pace, changing position or place.

Task:
Watch the videos and then describe the motion of an object with annotated pictures or diagrams

Classify the motions above using the following terms:

  • stationary (at rest);
  • moving at constant speed;
  • moving at increasing speed (accelerating);
  • moving at decreasing speed (decelerating);
  • Forwards, backwards, upwards, downwards. 
For example:
A hawk diving on prey experiences a force due to gravity pulling it down. It will move in a straight line unless it applies a force with its wings, changing direction.
