If the car is slowing down, a force must be pulling in the direction opposite to its velocity. 2.3 False. Your graph should look something like the follow- ing. This v x -t graph shows that the maximum speed is about 5.0 m/s, which is 18 km/h (! 11 mi/h), and so the 2.4 (c). If a particle with constant acceleration stops and its ac- celeration remains constant, it must begin to move again 2.5 Graph (a) has a constant slope, indicating a constant accel- eration; this is represented by graph (e). Graph (b) represents a speed that is increasing constantly but not at a uniform rate. Thus, the Graph (c) depicts a velocity that first increases at a constant rate, indicating constant acceleration. Then the 2.6 (e). For the entire time interval that the ball is in free fall, the acceleration is that due to gravity. 2.7 (d). While the ball is rising, it is slowing down. After reach- ing the highest point, the ball begins to fall and its speed 2.8 (a). At the highest point, the ball is momentarily at rest, but still accelerating at # g. v x (m/s) t(s) 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 –2.0 –4.0 –6.0 20 30 40 50 10 Answer to Quick Quiz 2.3 |
