hys410 Homework-Ch 04/05 Laws of Motion 5 O Force vs. Position Graph Interpretation: A single force is acting on a 2.0-kg block as it moves along the x-axis from 0 5 m. The force varies with position as shown in the graph. A positive force points in the positive x direction. The velocity 0 m/s when the block is at x = 0 m. a) Circle the appropriate answers in the last column of the following table. Hint: Think about how force relates to acceleration, which changes the block's speed! For this interval... x = 0 to 1 m x = 1 to 2 m x = 2 to 3 m x=3 to 4 m x = 4 to 5 m 4- 0- F (N) 1 3 4₁ I the block's speed (magnitude of velocity only) is... (circle one for each interval) (increasing) (decreasing) (constant) (increasing) (decreasing) (constant) (increasing) (decreasing) (constant) (increasing) (decreasing) (constant) (increasing) (decreasing) (constant) x (m) b) What physics principles and/or equations guided your thinking in answering the previous questions? Thoroughly explain your reasoning. =) Sketch the acceleration vs. position graph (How is acceleration related to force?), and then...
