What Velocity vs. Time Graphs Can Tell You
A common graphical representation of motion along a straight line is the v vs. t graph, that is, the graph of (instantaneous) velocity as a function of time. In
this graph, time is plotted on the horizontal axis and velocity on the vertical axis. Note that by definition, velocity and acceleration are vector quantities. In
straight-line motion, however, these vectors have only a single nonzero component in the direction of motion. Thus, in this problem, we will call the velocity
and the acceleration, even though they are really the components of the velocity and acceleration vectors in the direction of motion, respectively.
Here is a plot of velocity versus time for a particle that travels along a straight line with a varying velocity. Refer to this plot to answer the following questions.

shown in the figure, at .
ANSWER:
Correct
Part B
What is the total distance traveled by the particle?
Express your answer in meters.
Hint 1. How to approach the problem
Recall that the area of the region that extends over a time interval under the v vs. t curve is always equal to the distance traveled in .
Thus, to calculate the total distance, you need to find the area of the entire region under the v vs. t curve. In the case at hand, the entire region
under the v vs. t curve is not an elementary geometrical figure, but rather a combination of triangles and rectangles.
Hint 2. Find the distance traveled in the first 20.0 seconds
What is the distance traveled in the first 20 seconds of motion, between and ?
Hint 1. Area of the region under the v vs. t curve
The region under the v vs. t curve between and can be divided into a rectangle of dimensions by ,

Part C
What is the average acceleration of the particle over the first 20.0 seconds?
Express your answer in meters per second per second.
Hint 1. Definition and graphical interpretation of average acceleration
The average acceleration of a particle that travels along a straight line in a time interval is the ratio of the change in velocity
experienced by the particle to the time interval , or
.
In a v vs. t graph, then, the average acceleration equals the slope of the line connecting the two points representing the initial and final velocities.
Hint 2. Slope of a line
The slope of a line from point A, of coordinates , to point B, of coordinates , is equal to the "rise" over the "run," or

Correct
The average acceleration of a particle between two instants of time is the slope of the line connecting the two corresponding points in a v vs. t
graph.
Part D
What is the instantaneous acceleration of the particle at ?
Hint 1. Graphical interpretation of instantaneous acceleration
The acceleration of a particle at any given instant of time or at any point in its path is called the instantaneous acceleration. If the v vs. t graph of
the particle's motion is known, you can directly determine the instantaneous acceleration at any point on the curve. The instantaneous
acceleration at any point is equal to the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point.
Hint 2. Slope of a line
The slope of a line from point A, of coordinates , to point B, of coordinates , is equal to the "rise" over the "run," or
.
ANSWER:
Correct
The instantaneous acceleration of a particle at any point on a v vs. t graph is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point. Since in the last
10 seconds of motion, between and , the curve is a straight line, the tangent line is the curve itself. Physically, this means
that the instantaneous acceleration of the particle is constant over that time interval. This is true for any motion where velocity increases linearly
with time. In the case at hand, can you think of another time interval in which the acceleration of the particle is constant?
Now that you have reviewed how to plot variables as a function of time, you can use the same technique and draw an acceleration vs. time graph, that is,
the graph of (instantaneous) acceleration as a function of time. As usual in these types of graphs, time is plotted on the horizontal axis, while the vertical
axis is used to indicate acceleration .

Hint 1. How to approach the problem
Recall that whenever velocity increases linearly with time, acceleration is constant. In the example here, the particle's velocity increases linearly
with time in the first 20.0 of motion. In the second 20.0 , the particle's velocity is constant, and then it decreases linearly with time in the last
10 . This means that the particle's acceleration is constant over each time interval, but its value is different in each interval.
Hint 2. Find the acceleration in the first 20
What is , the particle's acceleration in the first 20 of motion, between and ?
Hint 1. Constant acceleration
Since we have already determined that in the first 20 of motion the particle's acceleration is constant, its constant value will be equal to
the average acceleration that you calculated in Part C.
ANSWER:
Hint 3. Find the acceleration in the second 20
What is , the particle's acceleration in the second 20 of motion, between and ?
Hint 1. Constant velocity
In the second 20 of motion, the particle's velocity remains unchanged. This means that in this time interval, the particle does not
accelerate.

In conclusion, graphs of velocity as a function of time are a useful representation of straight-line motion. If read correctly, they can provide you with
all the information you need to study the motion.
Relative Velocity vs. Time Graph Ranking Task
Two cars travel on the parallel lanes of a two-lane road. The cars are at the same location at time , and move in such a way as to produce the
velocity (relative to the ground) vs. time graph shown in the figure. On the graph, one vertical
block is equivalent to one velocity unit.

Hint 1. Speed relative to the ground
The graph displays the velocity of each car relative to the ground. Since you are asked only about car #1, simply ignore car #2 and interpret the
graph. Recall that speed is the magnitude of velocity.
Hint 2. Find the speed of car #1 at time A
What is the speed of car #1 relative to the ground at time A? Remember that speed is the magnitude of velocity.
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
Correct
Part B
Rank car #1s speed relative to car #2 at the lettered times.
Hint 1. Relative speed
The speed of car #1 relative to car #2 is the speed of car #1 that would be measured by someone in car #2, for example a passenger aiming a
radar gun at car #1. If you know the velocity of car #1 relative to a fixed point and the velocity of car #2 relative to that same fixed point, then the
magnitude of the difference in velocities gives the speed of one car relative to the other.
Hint 2. Determine the directions of travel at time A

ANSWER:
ANSWER:
Correct
Part C
Rank the distance between the cars at the lettered times.
Hint 1. Determine the directions of travel at time A
The problem states that the two cars begin at the same location, so their initial separation is zero. At time A, are the cars moving in the same
direction or in opposite directions?
ANSWER:
car #1: positive, car #2: positive
car #1: positive, car #2: negative
car #1: negative, car #2: positive

For "Components of Vectors" use the grid to measure the length of each vector's x and y component. The arrows for the vectors are randomly placed on the
grid with no common origin. Therefore, the direction of the vector will be important to note but not necessarily where it starts (i.e. it is irrelevant if the vector
starts at the graph's origin or not). Similarly, the vectors drawn in "Tactics Box 3.1 Determining the Components of a Vector" and " Resolving Vector
Components with Trigonometry" are drawn to help you identify the components of a vector. For " Resolving Vector Components with Trigonometry" they
want the answers to 3 significant digits.
Components of Vectors
Shown is a 10 by 10 grid, with coordinate axes x and y

Hint 1. How to derive the component
A component of a vector is its length (but with appropriate sign) along a particular coordinate axis, the axes being specfied in advance. You are
asked for the component of that lies along the x axis, which is horizontal in this problem. Imagine two lines perpendicular to the x axis running
from the head (end with the arrow) and tail of down to the x axis. The length of the x axis between the points where these lines intersect is the
x component of . In this problem, the x component is the x coordinate at which the perpendicular from the head of the vector hits the origin
(because the tail of the vector is at the origin).

Hint 1. How to find the start and end points of the vector components
A vector is defined only by its magnitude and direction. The starting point of the vector is of no consequence to its definition. Therefore, you need
to somehow eliminate the starting point from your answer. You can run two perpendiculars to the x axis, one from the head (end with the arrow)

of , and another to the tail, with the x component being the difference between x coordinates of head and tail (negative if the tail is to the right
of the head). Another way is to imagine bringing the tail of to the origin, and then using the same procedure you used before to find the
components of and . This is equivalent to the previous method, but it might be easier to visualize.

Often a vector is specified by a magnitude and a direction; for example, a rope with tension
exerts a force of magnitude in a direction 35 north of east. This is a good way to think of
