The line starts at origin. extends upward to (3,12) flat from (3,12) to (6,12), then neg slope to (8,0)

shows the velocity graph of a 2.2 kg object as it moves along the x-axis.

What is the net force acting on this object at t = 1 s ? At 4s? At 7?

Explanation / Answer

at T=1

a = (12 m/s) / (3s)

at T = 1 the slope is 12/3 = a = 4 m/s2

F = m*a

F = 2.2*4

F = 8.8 N
--------------------------------------
at T= 4

a = 0

F = 0

---------------------------------------

at T=7

a = -12 m/s / 2 s

at T = 7 the slope is -12/2 = a = -6 m/s2

F = 2.2*(-6)

F = -13.1 N
negative means opposite to direction of motion
