I looked at the motion diagram and thought it was representing an object accelerating to the right and getting faster. I thought A and B were right, but my first thought was that C looked like it could be moving to the right and slowing down, could you explain why this is wrong? I tend to get these types of questions wrong.
I am doing a lab report for my physics class. The lab consists of throwing a ball upward and recording its movements. Please explain these next questions and how you got the answer.
Determine the launch velocity of the ball from the velocity vs. time graphs in the x and y directions. Is this value reasonable? Determine the velocity of the ball at its highest point. Is this value reasonable?
Could you please help me answer this question.

An example of a situation that I might be able to use an equation with a single unknown would be, suppose I live in a town 100 miles away from my office. How long will it take me to reach my office if I am driving at 75 mph. Time will be unknown, and I am assuming I am driving at a constant speed, so I will apply the following linear equation, Speed = Time Distance → Time = Speed Distance = 1.33hours = 1 hour 20 minutes. Now I'm in the same position as before, but now there are traffic jams, or maybe roadwork, so the speed is not constant, (it varies with time) so in this case speed(time) = time distance → time = speed(time) Distance will therefore fail in this case. In the first case, in the linear case, we can assume that the speed will be constant and independent of other variables, time, which makes the linear method useful in this situation. On the other hand, in our second example, speed is a function of…arrow_forward
