Question

A remote-controlled car's velocity is graphed as a function of time as shown. On this graph, the vertical axis is divided into 2 m/s ticks and the horizontal axis is divided into 3 second ticks.

Answer 1

At what time does is the toy car farthest from its initial position? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 2

Should be at T=12s where the velocity is 0. From T 0s-12s the car is decelerating from 10m/s (initial velocity) to 0 where its moving away from its origin, and then from time 12s-24s its accelerating in the direction of the origin back to its original speed of 10m/s at time 24s where it should be at its initial starting point again.

Answer 3

t is time right?

Answer 4

yes time in seconds

Answer 5

Thank you! :)
