Question 6

Using the information in the graph, compare the motion of runners A, B, and C. Be sure to compare the initial position and velocity of each runner.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Runner A starts at the 0 m position and has the highest velocity, represented by the steepest slope. Runner B starts at the 2 m position and has a lower velocity than Runner A. Runner C starts at the 4 m position and has a velocity of zero because the line is horizontal, meaning the runner is stationary. All three runners reach the 4 m mark at 4 seconds.

Question 7

Using the graph, describe what is happening between 4 and 6 seconds.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

The object is not moving.
