When given a velocity vs. time graph, draw the corresponding position vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs. Graphs should include labels (including numerical values and correct units) for both the horizontal and vertical axes. The values don't have to be exactly right, but they should be relatively close. If possible, find the slope and apply it to a real life situation.
Given the equation of the displacement x of a certain object at any time t x = 2t + 3t² + 10, in meter
a. What is the velocity of the object at time t = 5 seconds?
b. What is the acceleration of the object at time t = 10 seconds?
Note: Velocity is the first derivative of displacement. Acceleration is the second derivative of displacement.
Match the given velocity vs time graph to the correct position vs time graph that represents the same motion. Don’t worry about matching exact times, just look for the right pattern.In a couple sentences or bullet points, describe a physical scenario for the motion (for example, using the motion of a person walking or a car driving).
