Kinematics graphs are great for showing how a quantity depends on time. For example, an acceleration-versus-time graph shows how acceleration depends on time. a. Based on your experience with two other kinematics graphs (position- and velocity-versus-time), describe how to plot an acceleration-versus-time graph. b. Describe how all three kinematics graphs are connected by slopes of tangent lines (derivatives). c. If a particles acceleration is positive and constant, what is the shape of the curve in each of the three kinematics graphs?
Mary Lou walked from her house to the library in 30 minutes. After staying at the library for about 45 minutes, she ran back to her house in about half the time it took her to get to the library. Which graph best represents Mary Lou’s motion?
Please answer the 3 unanswered questions. One is for velocity time graph, while other 2 are foracceleration time graph.
Shown below is a graph of velocity versus time for a moving object. The object starts at position x = 0 m at t = 0 s. What is the final position in meters, from t = 0 s to t = 2.0 s? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. (No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.)

Based on a grade 11 physics student, answer the following question: The position-time graph below represents the motion of two speed skaters, Bill and Ted on their Excellent Adventure as they time travel back to the 1952 winter Olympics in Oslo. a) What was Ted’s acceleration through the race? (assume constant) b) Make a velocity-time graph of Bill & Ted’s Speed Skating race.
The Elco Voltmeter company has a robot part delivery system that moves at a speed of 3 ft/s. The path that the robot follows from the stock room through the assembly area is 780 ft in length. How much time in seconds is required for the robot to travel in its path?
Haley is driving down a straight highway at 67 mph. A construction sign warns that the speed limit will drop to 55 mph in 0.50 mi. What constant acceleration (in m/s2) will bring Haley to this lower speed in the distance available? Express your answer in meters per second squared.
Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please detalied steps of how to solve this so I can understand it. Thank you!
In each table below, the motion is described by a position (x)-vs-time graph, a velocity (v)-vs-time graph, a verbal description or a motion map. The other three representations have been left blank. Complete the missing representations. Be sure to include each of the following in your verbal description: starting position, direction moved, type of motion, relative speed.

Xavier starts 5 feet away from a motion detector. He then walks away from the detector at a rate of 0.5 ft/sec for 4 seconds. He remains still for 2 seconds and then walks toward the detector at a rate of −2 ft/sec for 3 seconds. How far in feet is Xavier from the motion detector when he finishes his walk?
