Question

interpret and draw position, velocity and acceleration graphs for common situations and explain their reasoning.

Scenario: The man starts three meters from the house and accelerates towards the tree with acceleration, -2.0m/s².

Scenario: The man stands still while he talks on his cell phone at the middle of the sidewalk, then walks toward the house at a constant rate trying to get better cell reception. He comes to a sudden stop when the coverage is good (about a meter before the house) and stands still to finish his conversation.

4. Make new charts for each of the following scenarios. Predict what you think the graphs will look like, and then use Moving man to verify or correct your predicted graphs and reasoning with a different color pen.

a. The man starts three meters from the house and accelerates towards the tree with acceleration,             -2.0m/s².

b. The man stands still while he talks on his cell phone at the middle of the sidewalk, then walks toward the house at a constant rate trying to get better cell reception. He comes to a sudden stop when the coverage is good (about a meter before the house) and stands still to finish his conversation.

c. The man starts from the tree with initial velocity 6m/s and acceleration -1.5m/s².
