The velocity v(t) of an object is the sinusoidal function pictured below.

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

The object is moving in a negative direction. The object is moving back and forth. The object is moving in a positive direction. We can't tell anything from the velocity alone. None of these

is the velocity positive or negative?

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

I'm not sure.

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

How do I tell?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

is the curve always above the x axis? always below? or a mix?

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

There is a picture above.

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

I believe positive.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

since all of the curve is above the x axis, the velocity is always positive

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

positive velocity ---> The object is moving in a positive direction

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

thank you!
