The velocity vs. time graph for an object moving along a straight path is shown in the figure below. A function is plotted on a coordinate plane, with the horizontal axis labeled t (s) ranging from 0 to 21 s and the vertical axis labeled v (m/s) ranging from −9 m/s to 9 m/s. The function enters the viewing window at (0, −8) and goes horizontally rightward to the approximate point (5, −8). Then the function curves upward and extends up and right in a straight line to the approximate point (15, 8). The function then curves rightward and goes horizontally rightward to the point (20, 8), where the function ends. (i) Find the average acceleration of this object during the following time intervals.

Label each line with the corresponding letter (e.g., "a", "b", "c", etc.) at rest. moving in the positive direction with constant speed moving in the negative direction and speeding up moving in the positive direction and slowing down moving in the positive direction at a constant speed (slow) and then later fast at constant speed moving with a negative velocity and a negative acceleration moving with a negative velocity and a positive acceleration
A Turtle is moving with a constant acceleration along a straight path. He starts his stopwatch as he passes afence post and notes that it takes him 10.0 s to reach a pine tree 10.0 m farther along the path. As he passes the pinetree, his velocity is 1.2 m/s. How far from the fence post was he when he started? Use diagrams as part of your solutionand verify that your answer is correct.

The images of trees come from a catalog advertising fast-growing trees. If we mark the position of the top of the tree in the successive years, as shown in the graph in the figure, we obtain a motion diagram much like ones we have seen for other kinds of motion. The motion isn’t steady, of course. In some months the tree grows rapidly; in other months, quite slowly. We can see, though, that the average speed of growth is fairly constant for the first few years. What is the tree’s speed of growth, in feet per year, from t = 1 yr to t = 3 yr?A. 12 ft/yr B. 9 ft/yrC. 6 ft/yr D. 3 ft/yr

Consider the velocity vs. time graph of a person in an elevator shown in Suppose the elevator is initially at rest.It then accelerates for 3 seconds, maintains that velocity for 15 seconds, then decelerates for 5 seconds until it stops. Theacceleration for the entire trip is not constant so we cannot use the equations of motion from Motion Equations for ConstantAcceleration in One Dimension for the complete trip. (We could, however, use them in the three individual sections whereacceleration is a constant.) Sketch graphs of (a) position vs. time and (b) acceleration vs. time for this trip.
