Question
The answer for this problem would be "B" but could you explain me why? The reason for this is to understand this kind of problems in the future not only this one.
a (m/s)
Assume that an object starts with positive
velocity. It then experiences an
acceleration as shown by the graph.
Which statement is true for the motion of
the object over the 8 second period?
a) The object will end with a positive
velocity equal to what it started with.
b. The object will end with a positive
velocity greater than what it started
with.
c. The object will end with a positive velocity less than what it started with.
d. The object will end with a velocity of zero.
