http://prntscr.com/3ds7ul hi can help me the question is find the acceleration in the 1st 2 seconds in the graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

acceleration is the slope of a v-t graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah like the graph, Im being asked to find the value for acceleration in the 2 second mark can you help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first, do you know how to find the slope of a graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rise over run

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it 6.5 divided by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

approximately 7/2 , because it's between 6 and 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm so when you have that you take the middle number? so the answer would be 3.5 thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me one last question im being asked how many meters have been traveled in the 10 second mark how do i find that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now it's looking for the displacement. the area under the v-t graph is the displacement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm what are you mean exactly ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide the graph into triangles and rectangles, calculate the area of each and sum them up. it comes to 89m
