Question
The
- 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.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the driver begins to drive, accelerating at a constant rate of 4 meters squared. A bus is traveling at a speed of 15 meters per second in another lane. The bus is 7 meters behind the car as it begins to accelerate. per second Find when the bus passes the car, when the car passes the bus, and how far each has traveled each time they pass one another. it lad wodarrow_forwardThe velocity - time graph of the journey of a person is shown in the attached graph.

- sketch what you think the speed time graph would look like for a vehicle that begins at 10 m/hr. and remains at that speed for 10 minutes. Label this section A. Then the vehicle (over a five-minute interval) increases speed from 10 to 20 m/hr. Label this section B. Then immediately the vehicle begins to slow down. It takes the vehicle 10 minutes to slow down from 20 m/hr. to zero. Label this section C. This graph would have 3 intervals. The first interval (A) is from 0 to 10 minutes. The second interval (B) is from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. The third interval (C) is from 15 minutes to 25 minutes. The x-axis needs to go from zero to 25 minutes. The y axis needs to go from zero to 20 m/hr. Describe the motion of the vehicle in each interval as increasing, decreasing, constant, or at rest.arrow_forwardPlease box both answers.arrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solution .....arrow_forward
