First Attachment is no 5 and a=second attachment is no 4

OpenStudy (khally92):

For question no 5 i need help with B,C,D,E

OpenStudy (khally92):

While for question no 4 I need help with question no A,,C,D

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

For num 5b, go ahead and use the position formula that we used before to calculate how far each went after 6 sec and the answer is the difference. For num 5c, the instantaneous acceleration will be the rate of change in the velocity, which will be the slope of the line at that point. For num5d, the average velocity will be the initial velocity+final velocity then divide the sum by 2. For num 5e, you are basically just sketching the derivative of the velocity vs time graph you are given so that should be easy enough.

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

For num 4a, the velocity is positive when the distance is increasing. For num 4c, use the average velocity formula again. For num4d, you should just be able to take the value straight form the graph. Hope that helps, good luck

OpenStudy (khally92):

What is the acceleration of 5b.

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

do you need it?

OpenStudy (khally92):

s=ut+1/2 at^2 is the position formular we used in the previous question. so i thinks will need a

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

since the acceleration is constant, you should be able to calculate it from the graph, remember that it is the change in velocity/time

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

Note: the acceleration is constant until t=6, than it changes

OpenStudy (khally92):

is the accceleration constant both for A and B or just B. look at A very. so i will find A by findind slope at t=6

OpenStudy (khally92):

is a going to be the same for both

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

no, the other car's acceleration is constant here and there, but it changes often enough to be considered time dependent.

OpenStudy (khally92):

for NO 4a is the velocity positive when velocity constant i.e 3-5 sec

OpenStudy (khally92):

so wats going to be the acceleration for A.

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

well it would be constant, but i wouldn't consider it positive or negative, it is totally static

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

on num 5?

OpenStudy (khally92):

yeah acceleration of a number 5

OpenStudy (khally92):

No 4d is distance negative, or hould i just ignore the distance

OpenStudy (khally92):

ignore the sign i mean

OpenStudy (khally92):

also for 4c distance/time is the distance going to be -4

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

yeah, the distance between them would be the absolute value of the difference, negative distance makes no sense ;p and for #5, the acceleration changes over time so it is not one value unless your talking about at a point

OpenStudy (khally92):

5e i did not get what you mean

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

oh sorry you haven't taken calc i take it. Ok well let me explain it another way. Anytime the velocity is increasing, acceleration will be positive (above the x-axis), anytime the velocity is decreasing, the acceleration will be negative (below x-axis). At the point where the velocity switches from increasing to decreasing or vice versa, the acceleration will be zero

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

also when the velocity is constant the acceleration will be zero

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

when you take calc physics makes a lot more sense ;p hang in there

OpenStudy (khally92):

i am good and clear with every single thing we just did now jus the Acceleration of no 5 vechile A

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

ok, so they are talking about the first 5 secs where the acceleration is constant. So take the slope for that line (change in velocity with respect to time dv/dt) or use change in y/change in x =25/5 = 5 of whatever units it was in

OpenStudy (khally92):

is that all? but its at 6 nt 5 that what i did not get

OpenStudy (khally92):

Thanks Lot Mr Doe really really really Appreciate. i do not know how to thank you.

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

np, your interest in physics is thanks enough

OpenStudy (khally92):

Hello i tried sketching the acceleration time graph. is it a straight? thanks

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

yeah the acceleration is constant so it should be a straight line for the first 5 secs

OpenStudy (khally92):

|dw:1357156198180:dw| something like this i guess. i however ignored the time whicch the slope is constant between 5 and 8.

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

its going to look more like this since the acceleration stops and becomes zero before increasing a few seconds later

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

|dw:1357242324250:dw|

OpenStudy (khally92):

i do not know how to keep thanking you mr Doe. thanks alot.
