homework

Various x vs. t graphs are shown on the right. Graph(s) indicating constant velocity is(are) _____. Graph(s) indicating positive velocity is(are) _____. Graph(s) indicating negative velocity is(are) _____. Graph(s) indicating changing velocity is(are) _____. For the x vs. t graph on the right describe how you would walk to produce this graph. Your description should include your velocity over time intervals, e. g., 0 to 2 seconds. A graph of position vs. time for a dazed cyclist is shown. At what time(s) is the cyclist: moving with the greatest velocity? not moving, i.e., has zero velocity? moving with positive velocity? Consider the velocity vs. time graph on the right. The acceleration is zero for line(s) _____. The acceleration is positive for line(s) _____. The acceleration is negative for line(s) _____. The acceleration is increasing for line(s) _____. For the v vs. t graph, specify the time interval(s) where the acceleration is: zero _____. positive _____. negative _____. changing _____.

Explanation / Answer

1)

constant v is a,c and d

positive v is d
negative v is a and b

changing is b

2)

walk forward at 0.5 m/s for 2 seconds

stay still for 2 seconds

walk backwards at 1m/s for 2 seconds

then walk forwards at 0.5 m/s for 2 seconds

3)

a) greatest v is biggest slope so 3 seconds

b) 2 and 4 seconds

c) moving with pos velocity from 2 to 4 seconds

4)
accel is zero for c

positive for a and d

negative for b

increasing for d

5)

a)   4 to 6

b) positive 0 to 2 and 6 to 8

c) negative 2 to 4

d) changing 2 to 4 and 6 to 8
