Question
8. Figure 1 below is a plot of the displacement x of an object as a function of time t.
The dashed vertical lines separate the one second intervals. During the first time
interval #1 (t = 0 to t = 1 s) of Fig. 1 decide if the velocity of the object is (a) zero
(b) constant and positive, (c) constant and negative, (d) increasing and positive,
(e) increasing and negative, (f) decreasing and positive, or (g) decreasing and
negative. (You may use a ruler to check the slopes of x vs t for the various time
intervals.) Also decide for the same intervals if the acceleration is (note do not fix
on one point in an interval) (h) positive (i) negative (j) zero. Explain your answers.
Repeat the above for the other four time intervals in Figure 1.
