Acceleration is the rate of change of displacement with time. To find acceleration, calculate the slope in each interval. Plot these values as a function of time. Since the acceleration is constant within each interval, the new graph should be made entirely of linked horizontal segments. Displacement is the product of velocity and time.
Acceleration-Time Graphs For problems 1 - 3, represent the motion that would result from the configuration indicated by means of a (1) qualitative graphical representation of x vs. t, (2) qualitative graphical representation of v vs. t, (3) qualitative graphical representation of a vs. t, (4) qualitative motion
Break the graph up into segments and describe qualitatively the motion of the object in each segment. Whenever possible, calculate the acceleration of the object as well. The graph below shows the vertical velocity of a skydiver as a function of time.
speed of 0 m/s. The bus took 5 seconds to stop. a. Sketch a dot map for this situation. b. Which of the following ways would be the correct way to find the acceleration of the bus? Explain how you know. a. a = (0 – 20 m/s)/5s b. a = 5s * (20 m/s) c. a = (20m/s - 0)/5s d. a = 5s / (20 m/s) 4. NASA is planning on sending astronauts to Mars.
