Question

consider the motion of an object PHY-241/243 Exam 1 Name 1. Consider the motion of an object represented by the graph below. (a) List times when the object was stopped only for an instant. (b) List the the extended periods of time when the object was in rest. (c) What is the average velocity between t=0.0 and t=10ps of the object? (d) What is the average speed of the object between t=0.0 and 10.0s? (e) Draw xxovs t graph for the graph v vs t given below. () Draw a vs t graph for the graph vt) given below. v, m/s 40 30 20 10 to - 20 20

Explanation / Answer

given,

when the object is stopped its velocity has to be 0 m/s

time when the object was stopped for instant 2 and 19 sec

extended period of time when the object was at rest 10 to 13 sec

average velocity = total displacement / total time

total displacement = area of the graph on positive side - area of the graph on the negative side

for 0 to 10 sec

total displacement = 165 - 20

total displacement = 145 m

total time = 10 sec

average velocity = 145 / 10

average velocity = 14.5 m/s

average speed = total distance / total time

total distance = area of the graph on positive side + area of the graph on the negative side

for 0 to 10 sec

total distance = 165 + 20

total distance = 185 m

total time = 10 sec

average speed = 185 / 10

average speed = 18.5 m/s
