Motion Graphs
The velocity between 1-2s on graph A.
What is 0 m/s?
To reach takeoff speed of 50 m/s in your plane from rest in 5 s, this is your acceleration.
What is 10 m/s2?
This is always contant in the horizontal direction.
What is velocity?
After running two laps around the high school track, this is the distance traveled.
What is 800 m?
Your 200 mi/hr plane is in a 50 mi/hr tailwind. This is the time to arrive at your 500 mi away destination.
What is 2 hours?
The velocity from 0-2s on graph B.
What is -2 m/s?
While on highway 45 you set your cruise to 10 m/s for 30 minutes. This is your distance traveled.
What is 1800 m?
A ball is tossed straight up and down to its original height. This is the speed at APEX.
What is zero?
After running 2 laps around the high school track, this is the displacement traveded.
What is 0 m?
You paddle 2 m/s upstream in your canoe on a 1 m/s river. This the distance traveled in a minute.
What is 60 m?
The velocity from 6-7 s on graph A.
What is 3 m/s?
To slow from 30 m/s to rest in 6 s, your brakes must provide this acceleration.
What is -5 m/s2 ?
To solve for an objects projectile motion, lists must be made in these directions.
What is the x(horizontal) and the y(vertical)?
To get to Taco Bell. You travel 5 blocks West and 4 blocks south. This is your distance traveled.
What is 9 blocks?
This is drawn to find instantaneous speed on a nonlinear position time graph.
What is tangent?
The camel is doing this from 9-11s on graph B.
What is slowing down, turning around, and getting faster?
After falling from rest from a tree for 2 s, John has fallen this far...
What is 19.62 m?
This launch angle (at the same speed) will land at the same spot as 80o from horizontal.
What is 10o?
If you do this as you travel, your distance is great, but your displacement is not.
What is 'return to where you started'?
To cross the 10 m/s mighty Mississippi which is 1000 m wide, your tug moves at 5 m/s. This is your time to cross.
The acceleration from 2 to 5 s on graph B.
What is 0.66 m/s2 ?
A monkey falls from rest from a 30.66m tall tree at the zoo into the lagoon. This is the time it took it to fall. (no primates were harmed)
What is 2.5 s ?
These must be found of a launched/tossed objects initial velocity to proceed solving for other variables of motion in the x or y direction.
What are vector components?
Rhoelke hikes 3 miles North and 4 miles East. This is his displacement.
What is 5 miles NorthEast?
More specifically "What is 5 mi @ 53o E of N ?"
To get a across a 100 m wide river you swim perpendicular at 2 m/s. The river current is 3 m/s. This is the distance you end up downstream.
What is 150 m?
