PRACTICE KINEMATIC GRAPH 2

1. The graph shows x(t) for an object traveling along the x-axis. Plot vx as a function of time for
this object from t = 0 to t = 8 s.

2. The graph is of vx versus t for an object moving along the x-axis. Sketch a motion diagram
between t = 5.0 s and t = 9.0 s and (a) describe the motion in words. (b) What is the
acceleration between t = 5.0 s and t = 9.0 s ? (c) what is the deceleration between t =9.0 s and
t = 13.0 s ?

3. The graph shows the vertical velocity vy of a bouncing ball as a function of time. The y-axis
points up. Answer these questions based on the data in the graph. (a) At what time does the
ball reach its maximum height? (b) What is the maximum height of the ball ? (c ) What is the
acceleration of the ball while in the air ?
