Question

At your station will be a table of travel distance and the time a cart took to travel those distances. The cart is initially at rest. The overall goal will be to determine the cart’s acceleration. Plot the data (Or a function of the data, for example the square, or square root, or times something, or. . .) in such a way that:

•The position is the independent variable, and plotted on the horizontal axis,

•The acceleration is inversely proportional to the slope

•The resulting plot is a straight line.. (Start with x = ½ a t^2 and use algebra, Anything else is wrong! )

5a. What is plotted on the horizontal axis? __________

5b. What is plotted on the vertical axis? ____________

5c. Graph

Answer 1

59 Time 56. velocity The slope of graph of position as a function of time is equal to the velocity at that time and the slope of graph of velocity as a function of time is equal to acceleration. position sa o time velocity Queler ention time position vs time velouty (us) time aceleration vs time
