Question

interpreting a motion map
which statements accurately describe the motion map? check all that apply.
the objects are moving in the same direction.
the objects are moving in opposite directions.
object a has a greater velocity than object b.
object b has a greater velocity than object a.
objects a and b have the same velocity.

Explanation:

• Direction: In a motion map, the direction of the arrows indicates the direction of motion. Object A has arrows pointing to the right, and object B has arrows pointing to the left. So, they are moving in opposite directions.
• Velocity: Velocity is related to the length of the arrows (assuming time intervals are equal). The length of the arrows for object B is greater than that for object A. Since velocity magnitude (speed) is higher when the arrow (representing displacement in a given time interval) is longer (for equal - time intervals), object B has a greater velocity than object A.

Answer:

• The objects are moving in opposite directions.
• Object B has a greater velocity than object A.
