Question

Lab 1, Part a

An object moving in one dimension with constant acceleration a=+5m/s2 starts from rest at x=0m at time t=0s

i) Fill in the empty cells in the table to the left showing the position and velocity of the object as a function of time

ii) Make a x-y plot of position as a function of time from t=0s to t=20s (started below)

Mathematically, how would you describe the shape of the graph?


How can you determine the shape of the graph from the equation you used for position?


iii) Make an x-y plot of velocity as a function of time from t=0s to t=20s (started below)

Mathematically, how would you describe the shape of the graph?
