Question

Considering the information given above, answer parts a through d below. Show all work and give expanation for your reasoning.

a) At which of the six number points does the particle have no (zero) acceleration?

b) At which of the six number points does the particle have the greatest displacement if it started from x = 0 at t = 0?

c) At which of the six number points does the particle have the smallest displacement if it started from x = 0 at t = 0?

d) If the particle started from x = 0 at t = 0, is its postion, x positive or negative when is moving in the -x direction?

Figure gives the velocity of a particle moving along an axis. Point 1 is at the highest point on the curve; point 4 is at the lowest point, and points 2 and 6 are at the same

Explanation / Answer

a) for the zero acceleration , the slope of the of the velocity-time curve must be zero

the points are 1 and 4

b)

for greatest displacement , the area under the curve must be maximum

the point is 3 .

c)

point 1 has the smallest displacement

d) when it start moving in - x direction after crossing the point 3 ,

it's position is positive
