lgbasallote · Answer

rising acceleration...then decreases

lgbasallote · Answer

so your v-t graph will be a curve

anonymous · Answer

I dont understand.. Is it a parabola curve?

lgbasallote · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

Okay. If the graph was originally velocity, how do you draw the position of it? (I'm sorry i just dont understand how to do any of this!)

lgbasallote · Answer

it depends...

anonymous · Answer

on?

lgbasallote · Answer

how the graph looks like

anonymous · Answer

Say it was the graph i drew earlier, how would i draw the position if it was velocity?

lgbasallote · Answer

same way. parabolic

anonymous · Answer

okay thanks

anonymous · Answer

If you know any calculus, the acceleration is the first derivative (the slope) of the velocity graph. The velocity is the first derivative (slope) of the position.
Position is area under the velocity graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration graph.

anonymous · Answer

i know! I dont understand how to draw them

anonymous · Answer

Label the graph with some arbitrary numbers and estimate the areas.

lgbasallote · Answer

....why didn't you tell me you knew calculus...

anonymous · Answer

Because you didnt ask?

anonymous · Answer

:-)

anonymous · Answer

and Id hardly say i know it

anonymous · Answer

Just make something up that's plausible

And integrate those functions.
