The object is standing still.3238587630timevelocity00timevelocity3.The object moves in the negative direction at a steady speed for 5s, then stands still for 5s.3238581280timevelocity00timevelocity4.The object moves in the positive direction at a steady speed for 5s, reverses direction and moves back toward the negative direction at the same speed.32385205105timevelocity00timevelocityDraw the velocity vs time graphs for an object whose motion produced the position vs time graphs shown below at left.24892059690position (m)time (s)0 1 2 3 401234position (m)time (s)0 1 2 3 4012340 1 2 3 4 5time (s)position (m)0123400position (m)time (s)0 1 2 3 401234position (m)time (s)0 1 2 3 4012340 1 2 3 4 5time (s)position (m)012345. 14986076200velocity (m/s)time (s)0 1 2 3 4-2-1012velocity (m/s)time (s)0 1 2 3 4-2-10120 1 2 3 4 5time (s)velocity (m/s)-2-101200velocity (m/s)time (s)0 1 2 3 4-2-1012velocity (m/s)time (s)0 1 2 3 4-2-10120 1 2 3 4 5time (s)velocity (m/s)-2-10126. 7. 8.We have already discussed that the slope of the line has a meaning in relation to the motion. What does the slope of a position time graph tell you about the motion of an object?9. We will look at the meaning of the area between the line and the horizontal axis and the physical meaning of that quantity.a.Looking at the velocity time graphs, draw one of the squares and label the sides with the units. If you were to find the area of the square, determine the units for the area of the square.b. Look at the position time graph in #5. What is the displacement in #5?c. Now find the area under your velocity/time graph for #5.d. Look at the position time graph in #6. What is the displacement in #6?e. Now find the area under your velocity/time graph for #6, where the area is negative if it is below the x-axis.f. Look at the position time graph in #7. What is the displacement in #7?g. Now find the area under your velocity/time graph for #7?h. What does the area underneath a velocity vs. time graph represent? ................
