The kinematical graphs of a person riding her bicycle are shown below. Time is measured in second, velocity in m/s and acceleration in m/s2. Assume that she starts at x=0.       Describe the motion of the bicyclist (direction of velocity and whether the velocity is constant, increasing and decreasing) during each 1s interval from 0-4 s using the graph. Draw the position – time (x-t) graph of this motion. This is qualitative only, showing the shapes of the x-t curves in each interval and need not be drawn to scale. Draw the acceleration – time graph (a-t graph) for this motion. Draw this graph showing the values of acceleration in m/s2. What is the displacement of the bicyclist from 0-4 s. What physics principle did you use? Show your work.

Question

The kinematical graphs of a person riding her bicycle are shown below. Time is measured in second, velocity in m/s and acceleration in m/s2. Assume that she starts at x=0.

 

 

 

  1. Describe the motion of the bicyclist (direction of velocity and whether the velocity is constant, increasing and decreasing) during each 1s interval from 0-4 s using the graph.
  2. Draw the position – time (x-t) graph of this motion. This is qualitative only, showing the shapes of the x-t curves in each interval and need not be drawn to scale.
  3. Draw the acceleration – time graph (a-t graph) for this motion. Draw this graph showing the values of acceleration in m/s2.
  4. What is the displacement of the bicyclist from 0-4 s. What physics principle did you use? Show your work.
