Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, fo…

To determine

The difference in graph if the rabbit ran twice as fast and if the rabbit ran in the opposite direction.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A position time graph is the graphical representation of the motion of an object.

In a position time graph the position and time are plotted. The slope represents the speed of the object. Hence, as the speed is doubled, the slope will be doubled.

When the rabbit runs in the opposite direction, the position of the rabbit will be plotted in the negative y-axis representing direction. The slope will represent the speed.

Conclusion:

As rabbit doubles, the speed the slope of the graph is doubled. If the rabbit ran in the opposite direction, the graph would be plotted for the position on the negative y-axis.
