Plus and minus signs are used in one-dimensional motion to indicate direction. What is the sign of an acceleration that reduces the magnitude of a negative velocity? Of a positive velocity?
If you divide the total distance traveled on a car trip (as determined by the odometer) by the elapsed time of the trip, are you calculating average speed or magnitude of average velocity? Under what circumstances are these two quantities the same?
Parts (a), (b), and (c) of Figure 2.10 represent three graphs of the velocities of different objects moving in straight-line paths as functions of time. The possible accelerations of each object as functions of time are shown in parts (d), (c), and (f). Match each velocity vs. time graph with the acceleration vs. time graph that best describes the motion. Figure 2.10 (Quick Quiz 2.3) Match each velocity vs. time graph to its corresponding acceleration vs. time graph.

We know what the acceleration from the slope of the plot velocity vs time graph. 1) But what's the meaning of the intercept of the line with the v-axis? 2) Should we expect this value to be close to the origin?
Given graph, whats is the average acceleration at interval 0s to 0.5s, 0.5s to 1.0s and 1.0s to 2.0s? What can you say about their magnitude and direction?
When you throw a ball in the air, what does the velocity vs. time graph look like? When you drop a ball, what does it look like?
What is the total time it takes for a ball that is tossed straight up at 10 m/s to reach the top of its path and then return to its starting point? Hint: since the ball returns to its starting point, what is its displacement? Your answer should be in units of seconds but you should only submit the number for your answer
Sally is driving along a straight highway in her 1965 Mustang. At t=0, when she is moving at 10 m/s in the positive x-direction, she passed a signpost at x=50 m. Her acceleration as a function of time is a=20 m/s^2-(0.10 m/s^3)t. Find her velocity and position as functions of time. Where is her velocity greatest? What is that maximum velocity? Where is the car when it reaches that maximum velocity?
How can you tell if a motion situation is acceleration or constant velocity just by looking at a distance-time graph??
