Nice couch lol
and aluminum I think
The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is
1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m
Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as
<em>v</em> (ave) = ∆<em>x</em> / ∆<em>t</em>
and under constant acceleration,
<em>v</em> (ave) = (<em>v</em> (final) + <em>v</em> (initial)) / 2
According to the plot, with ∆<em>t</em> = 4.0 s, we have <em>v</em> (initial) = 0 and <em>v</em> (final) = 10.0 m/s, so
∆<em>x</em> / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2
∆<em>x</em> = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2
∆<em>x</em> = 20.00 m
The answer should be C) Slide against each other.
The formula for both is v(t) = v0 + a*t
b) v(8) = 0 + 6m/s^2 *8s = 48 m/s
now we know the beginning (2) and end speed (14), but not the time:
c) 14 = 2 + 1.5*t => t = (14-2)/1.5 = 8 seconds
