Question

What is the main difference in velocity graphs when moving slow vs. moving fast?

Expert Solution

Step 1 :Introduction

When an object is moving slowly , smaller distance is covered over larger time period. Thus if the motion is not with constant acceleration , the velocity graph of slow person, will be a curved towards right side increasing curve and for fast person it will be curved towards left side increasing curve.

For constant acceleration , the slope of faster person graph will be greater than the slower person , thus the first line observed from the origin will be representing the faster person
