QUESTION 1

The velocity of a container traveling along the axis is shown as a function of time in the figure below. If the container is at x = 0 when t = 0, answer the following. Vx (m/s) 20 10 t (s) 10 15 10 (a) What is the object's acceleration (in m/s) between 0 and 4.00 s? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s 2 (b) What is the object's acceleration (in m/s2) between 4.00 s and 9.00 s? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s2 (c) What is the object's acceleration (in m/s2) between 12.0 s and 18.0 s? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s 2 (d) At what time(s) (in s) is the object moving with the lowest speed? (If there is more than one time, enter the times from smallest to largest. If there is only one time, enter 0 in the second box.) s (smaller value) s (larger value) (e) At what time (in s) is the object farthest from x = 0? (f) What is the final position x (in m) of the object at t = 18 s? m (g) Through what total distance (in m) has the object moved between t = 0 and t = 18 s? m
