Question

Please help with a short essay answer!

The figure show is a position versus time graph for the motion of an object along the axis. Consider the time interval from A to B. (a) is the object moving in the positive or negative direction? (b) is the object speeding up or slowing down? (c) is the acceleration of the object positive or negative? Now consider the time interval from D to E. (d) is the object moving in the positive or negative direction? (e) is the object speeding up or slowing down? (f) is the acceleration of the object positive or negative? (g) Finally, answer these same three questions for the time interval from C to D Essay answers are limited to about 500 words (3800 characters maximum, including spaces). 3800 Character(s) remaining

Explanation / Answer

a) it's displacement is deceased from A to B hence it is moving towards origin hence it is having it's velocity in negative direction

b)the rate of change of slope from A to B will be negative hence it is deccelerating

c)Hence the acceleration is positive

d) it's displacement is increased from D to E hence it is moving away from origin hence it is having it's velocity in positive direction

e)the slope is increasing means the velocity is increasing

f)Hence the acceleration is positive

g)from C to D it is at rest

hence all are zero
