Question

Examine your data table a)explain how direction of motion can be determined from the displacmen Graph E: Cart pushed hard to move rapidly away from the detector. 1. Examine your data table Explain how direction of motion can be determined from the displacement vs. time graph. a) Explain how the rate of motion (or magnitude of its velocity) of an object can be determined from the displacement vs.time graph. b) In which two cases is the speed of the object the same? Are the velocities the same? Explain. c) d) If the slope of a distance vs. time graph is zero, what is the velocity of the object?

Explanation / Answer

Question 1

Part A

The direction of motion can be determined by the sign of the displacement. If the displacement is positive then the particle is moving in positive x direction and if it is negative the it is moving in negative x direction.

Part B

The magnitude of the velocity is the slope of displacement v/s time graph. From the graph the slope can be calculated by measuring the angle of tangent at any particular time.

Part C

When the slope of graphs are same then their velocities will be same.

Part D

Its velocity will also be zero.
