For this case, the first thing we must do is take into account the definition of the axes:
the x axis is time in seconds
the y axis is velocity in meters per secon
Then, we look for the cut point with the y axis, which is given by:
(0, 2)
This means that the initial speed is 2 m / s.
We now look for the cut point with the x axis, which is given by:
(8, 0)
This means that the speed is 0 m / s, so the runner stopped when the time is 8 seconds.
Answer:
The initial velocity of the runner was 2 m / s, and the runner stopped after 8 seconds.
yeah. I can't see none of you work so help ME please.
Y intercept is where the line meets the Y axis
So the points shd be in (0,y) form.
So (0,0) (0,-7) (0,-0.25) are the y-intercepts in the following.
