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.
