Question

The acceleration of segment D is m/s2. Rank segments A, B , C from least accelerations to greatest acceleration. Least

Answer 1

Answer:

D, C, B, A

Explanation:

The derivative of a velocity-time graph will give you the acceleration.

Segment A

         $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{15m/s}{1s} = 15m/s^2$

Segment B

         $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5m/s}{1s} = 5m/s^2$

Segment C

         $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{0m/s}{2s} = 0m/s^2$

Segment D

         $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-20m/s}{1s} = -20m/s^2$

From least to greatest acceleration:

         D, C, B, A

Answer 2

Segment D is -20 m/s squared

C

B

A
