What are the three things that we graph over time?
Position, velocity and acceleration
True or False. The velocity in these problems is always the same.
True
True or False. The velocity in these problems is always the same.
False
True or False. The slope of the position vs time graph is equal to the velocity.
True
What is the final velocity of an object moving uniformly with an initial velocity of 5 m/s?
5 m/s
What is the starting velocity of an object at rest?
0 m/s
What would the sign of the acceleration be in this situation?
Negative
What is the acceleration of a truck moving uniformly at 5 m/s?
0 m/s2
What is the acceleration of a runner starting from rest and finishing the race at 50 m/s in 5 minutes?
0.167 m/s2
A car is moving on a straight road. The car starts at position x = 10 m, and it moves during 15.0 seconds in the following way:
1) It starts from rest, and with a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 for 5.0 seconds.
2) Then, the car stops accelerating, and continues moving with constant speed for 5.0 more seconds.
3) Finally, the car comes to a complete stop after 5.0 seconds (with constant acceleration).
Draw the velocity-vs-time graph of the car.

How much distance is traveled with a velocity of 10 m/s during 7 seconds?
70 m
A car is moving on a straight road. The car starts at position x = 10 m and ends in position x = 235 m. It starts from rest, and with a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 for 15.0 seconds. What is the final velocity?
30 m/s
