time (s)

a. Draw qualitative motion maps for objects A and B. Include v and a vectors.
vel:
A: 0m

acc: +

vel:
B: 0m

acc: +

b. Describe how the motion of object A is different from that of object B.

c. Qualitatively compare the following quantities for objects A and B.


If A has the greater value, write "A" in the blank.
If B has the greater value, write "B".
If the values for A and B are equal, write "=".

_____ Displacement from t = 0 s to t = 5s


_____ Displacement from t = 0 s to t = 2.5s
_____ Displacement from t = 2.5 s to t = 5s
_____ Average velocity from t = 0 s to t = 5s
_____ Average velocity from t = 0 s to t = 2.5s
_____ Instantaneous velocity at t = 5s

4. Your teacher's car can go from rest to 25 m/s (≈55 mph) in 10 seconds. The car's velocity
changes at a uniform rate.

a. Construct a quantitative velocity vs time graph to represent the motion of the car.

velocity (m/s)

time (s)
b. Determine the acceleration of the car. Show work; use units.

c. How far does the car travel in these 10 seconds? Explain or show how you got your
answer.

d. How fast is the car going 3 seconds after it starts? Explain or show how you got your
answer.
5. The drawing below shows a moving object that has been photographed at equal time
intervals. The object starts at rest and moves to the right. The dots show the location of the
object each second.
t=0

0m 10m 20m 30m 40m 50m

a. Plot position vs time for the object on the graph below. Label the axes clearly!

b. There are two different ways to graphically determine the instantaneous velocity at t = 3 s.
Describe one of them.

c. Use one of these methods to find the instantaneous velocity at t = 3 s. Show work.
