Question

The graph shows position versus time for an object moving with the constant acceleration. what is the final velocity of the object at t=10s? assume the initial velocity at the origin is 1 m/s.

3.32 m/s
4.0 m/s
3.0 m/s
3.8 m/s

Answer 1

thanks for de points

Answer 2

3.0 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of motion for constant acceleration (a) is ...

`x(t)=(1)/(2)at^2 +v_0t+x_0`

The problem statement tells us v₀ = 1, and we read from the graph that x₀=1. We also read from the graph that x(10) = 21. Filling these values into the equation, we can find a and x'(10).

`21 = (1)/(2)a(10^2)+1(10)+1\\\\10=50a\qquad\text{subtract 11}\\\\a=(1)/(5)\\\\x'(t)=at+v_0\\\\x'(10)=(1)/(5)\cdot 10+1=3.0`

The final velocity of the object at t=10 s is about 3.0 m/s.

Comment on the graph

We note this graph better represents increasing acceleration than it does constant acceleration. x(2) = 3.4 per the equation. It is graphed as about 4.
