Question

The figure below shows a graph of v x versus t for the motion of a motorcyclist as he starts from rest and moves along the road In a straight line. Find the average acceleration for the time Interval t = 0 to r = 3.0 s. Estimate the time at which the acceleration has its greatest positive value. What is the value of the acceleration at that instant? When is the acceleration zero? Acceleration is zero when t = s and when t > s. Estimate the maximum negative value of the acceleration. At what time does it occur?

Explanation / Answer

a. 3s * 4m/s / 2 = 6 m/s^2 b. part 1 = 4s part 2 = 1.5 m/s^2 c. acceleration is 0 when time = 0 and when t > 10s d. part 1 = -1 part 2 = 8
