Question

3. A renegade watermelon starts at x = 0 m and rolls at a constant velocity to x = -3.0 m at time t = 5.0 seconds. Then, it bumps into a wall and stops. Draw its position versus time graph from t = 0 s to t = 10 s.

Answer 1

Transform the given information into points.

If the watermelon rolled from 0 to -3.0 m in 5 seconds, then the point is (5,-3).

If the watermelon stops after 5 seconds, then draw a horizontal line there because its position is constant.
