- Conclusion: Write a single paragraph describing the how the velocity of the car changes as time passes. Be sure to include your equation and the acceleration in your description.arrow_forwardThis distance vs time graph does not represent velocity. Why? Explain in your own words.arrow_forwardPlease view the pictures below to answer the following questions. Match the following descriptions of an objects motion with the graph of the object's position vs time graph shown in the pictures. Question 1: An object has a postive initial velocity and a negative accelertion, but never comes to a stop. Question 2: An object has an initial negative velocity and a positive acceleration which slows it to a stop before speeding it up in the positive direction. Question 3. An object is initially at rest and then accelerates in the negative direction. Question 4: An object has a postive constant velocity Please answer questions 1-4arrow_forward
- B. The graph at the right shows the journey of a car over a 50-second time interval. Find the car’s displacement after 50 seconds.arrow_forwardIn understanding motion lab, one of your velocity vs. time graph produced a line with positive slope. Which one of the following options exactly describes the slope? The slope represents average velocity. O The slope represents acceleration that is constant. The slope represents instantaneous velocity. The slope represents the displacement.arrow_forwardImage shows the velocity-versustime graphs for two objects A and B. Students Zach and Victoria are asked to tell stories that correspond to the motion of the objects. Zach says, “The graph could represent two cars traveling in opposite directions that pass each other.” Victoria says, “No, I think they could be two rocks thrown vertically from a bridge; rock A is thrown upward and rock B is thrown downward.” Which student, if either, is correct? Explain.arrow_forward
- Karen bikes at 8 mph for 0.3 hours from home to the park. At soon as she arrives, Karen remembers she has a study session with Marie. So, Karen turns around and bikes to Marie's house at 12 mph for 0.1 hours. They study for 0.5 hours. Then, Karen bikes home for 0.4 hours. Note: Marie's house is in between Karen's house and the park. 1. Plot a velocity vs. time graph. 2. Calculate Karen's speed when she bikes from Marie's to her house. 3. Calculate the distance of each segment. 4. Plot a position vs. time graph.arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forwardA basketball dropped from the roof of a three-story building falls to the ground. Ignoring air resistance, sketch the motion diagram for this motion, including approximate representations of the position versus time, velocity versus time, and acceleration versus time graphs for this motion. Include axes labels, appropriate numbers, and units for each graph. Upload an image of the sketches and explain your sketches in words in the panels below.arrow_forward
