Question
**Position vs Time Graph Analysis**

1. The position vs time graph of an object is shown below. Answer the questions based on the graph.

**Graph Description:**

- The graph is titled "Position vs. Time."
- The x-axis represents Time (s) ranging from 0 to 2 seconds.
- The y-axis represents Position (m) ranging from 0 to 1 meter.
- There is a line graph plotted on the grid, illustrating the motion of the object.

**Graph Details:**

- From 0 to 0.5 seconds, the position increases linearly from 0 m to 0.5 m.
- From 0.5 to 1.0 seconds, the position remains constant at 0.5 m.
- From 1.0 to 2.0 seconds, the position decreases linearly, returning to 0 m at 2.0 seconds.

**Question:**

(a) During which interval of time is the particle at rest?

- A. 0.0s – 0.5 s
- B. 0.5 s – 1.0 s
- C. 1.0 – 2.0 s

**Explanation:**

To determine when the particle is at rest, look for the flat section of the graph where the position does not change. This occurs between 0.5 s and 1.0 s. Therefore, the particle is at rest during interval B.

This occurs between 0.5 s and 1.0 s. Therefore, the particle is at rest during interval B.
(b) During which interval of time is the particle traveling in the negative direction?

- A. 0.0 – 0.5 s
- B. 0.5 s – 1.0 s  (Selected)
- C. 1.0 – 2.0 s

(c) In which interval is the speed of the particle the greatest?

- A. 0.0 s – 0.5 s
- B. 0.5 s – 1.0 s
- C. 1.0 – 2.0 s

(d) Calculate the velocity between 0.0 s – 0.5 s.

\[ v = \, \boxed{\phantom{0}} \, \text{m/s} \]

Notes:
- There is a handwritten annotation "0.5/3.26" next to question (b).
