imqwerty (imqwerty):

displacement is a length quantity and is measured in meters in SI unit system. The unit of displacement given in graph is meter/seconds which is thus wrong.

imqwerty (imqwerty):

yeah :)

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

thanks!

@imqwerty what about this one really quick i am stuck: An object starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 3.0 m/s/s for 6.0 seconds. The velocity at the end of the 6.0 seconds is 0.50 m/s 1.0 m/s 2.0 m/s 18 m/s

imqwerty (imqwerty):

use this formula- \(\large v=u+at\) here \(v\)-->final velocity \(u\) -->initial velocity \(a\)-->acceleration \(t\)--->time period

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

i got 2.0

imqwerty (imqwerty):

what values of \(u\), \(a\) and \(t\) did you put in the equation?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

U= 3, a=6 and t= 6

imqwerty (imqwerty):

the object starts from rest it means that it was standing still initially so the initial velocity \(u\) will be 0 it is given that the acceleration \(a\) is \(3m/s^2\) and that time \(t\) is \(6secs\) so now you have ->\(u\)=0 \(a\)=3 \(t\)=6 try to find \(v\) now

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

i got 9 but then I am not sure what'v' is again.... to divide by

imqwerty (imqwerty):

\(v\) is the final velocity the velocity at the end of 6 seconds

imqwerty (imqwerty):

\(v=u+at\) just substitute the values of \(u\) , \(a\) and \(t\) in this to get \(v\) do you know what those values are?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

why did you put that 6 on the left hand side? \(\color{red}6=0+3(6)\) you put that 6 in place of \(v\) but well..we don't know what is \(v\) so we just put \(v\) in its place and solve for it using the equation only this 6 on the left is wrong rest all is alright

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

ok.. so what would be in place of "v" in the equation?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

just put it as \(v\) we don't know any numerical value of v so we just put it as \(v\) so our equation becomes this- \(v=0+3(6)\) agree?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

yes
