Question

You have two graphs that show a starting point of -5 and a slope of +2, one is a position vs. time graph and the other shows velocity vs. time. Describe the motion of each object in as much detail as possible.

Answer 1

graph i

initially body is in negative position with respect to initial position , as value is -5m

velocity in positive direction , slope is positive v=2m/s

and slope is constant so acceleration is 0 m/s²

graph ii.

initially graph is moving in negative direction from initial position

velocity in negative initially ,since value of u is negative = -5m/s

and slope is constant so acceleration is constant in positive direction. 2 m/s²
