Question

Consider the velocity vs. time Graph shown below of a car moving along a horizontal road. The positive x-direction is to the right, and assume that the car starts at x=0 at time t=0s. For the questions a) thru c) find the correct answers) from the list below. During which segment(s) docs the car speed up while moving to the right? During which segment (s) docs the car speed up while moving to the left? During which segment(s) does the car slow down while moving to the right? During which segment (s) docs the car slow down while moving to the left? During which segment dies the car travel at a constant velocity? At which point (A. B, C, D, E, F, or G) is the car furthest from the origin (x=0)?

Explanation / Answer

Part a: (i) AB

Part b: (v) EF

Part c: (iii) CD

Part d: (vii) None of the segments

Part e: (ii) BC & (vi) FG

Part f: at point G
