Question

To describe the motion of a particle along a straight line, it is often convenient to draw a graph representing the position of the particle at different times. This type of graph is usually referred to as an x vs. t graph. To draw such a graph, choose an axis system in which time t is plotted on the horizontal axis and position x on the vertical axis. Then, indicate the values of x at various times t Mathematically, this corresponds to plotting the variable x as a function of t An example of a graph of position as a function of time for a particle traveling along a straight line is shown below. Note that an x vs. t graph Which of the graphs shown is the correct v vs. t plot for the motion described in the previous parts? Graph A Graph B Graph C Graph D

Explanation / Answer

D slope in x-t graph gives velocity
