Describing Motion Through Visual Presentation

This document describes how to use visual representations like tape, charts, and motion graphs to describe an object's motion through space over time. It explains that a reference point is needed to describe an object's position and direction of motion. Examples are given of using diagrams with coordinate systems and graphs to visually depict an object's changing position at different times. The document instructs how to interpret and create visual representations of motion by answering questions about diagrams, converting diagram information to a table and graph, and plotting position data over time on a motion graph.

DESCRIBING MOTION THROUGH

VISUAL REPRESENTATION:
USING TAPE, CHARTS AND
MOTION GRAPHS
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. explain point of reference as basis in creating visual
representation of motion;
2. describe motion as visual representation using tape,
charts and motion graphs ; and
3. create visual representation of the motion of objects
such as tape, charts and motion graphs
4. interpret visual representation of the motion of
objects such as tape, charts and motion graphs.
What is Motion?
= an object's change in position relative to another object, or
reference point.
Reference point
= the place where the object is positioned and motionless.
 The direction of an object's motion can be described with a
reference direction, such as North, South, East, West, up or
down.
Describing through visuals
 The position of an object can be described in many ways. You
can use words. You can also use visuals, like diagrams or graphs.
 Use the examples in the next slide and find out how these will
help you in providing accurate descriptions of positions of
objects.
Activity 1 – “Using Diagrams Graphs”
A. Directions: Consider the diagram in Figure 1. The positions of
the objects are described in the diagram by their coordinates
along the number line.
Answer the following questions based on Figure 1.
Q1. What is the position of the dog?
Q2. What is the position of the tree?
Q3. What is the position of the dog with respect to the house?
Q4. What is the position of the tree with respect to the dog?
B. Here is another example. In this diagram, the positions of the
ball rolling are shown at equal intervals of time. You can use
the diagram to describe the position of the ball at any given
time.
Answer the following questions based on Figure 2.
Q5. What is the initial position of the ball? What about its final
position?
Q6. What is the position of the ball at 10 seconds?
Q7. At what time is the position of the ball equal to 5 meters?
C. Using graphs
Direction: Convert the diagram in Figure 2 to make a graph by
following the guide
below.
1. Fill in Table 1 using the data in Figure 2. Note that the
positions of the ball are shown every 5 seconds.
II. Plot the values in Table 1 as points on the graph in Figure 3.
Note that time is plotted on the X-axis while position is
plotted on the Y-axis. An example is given below.
