How about the acceleration? Is it zero anywhere? SLOPE in velocity-time diagram?
velocity (m/s) 5 10 Time (s) What are the properties of the slope?
velocity (m/s) 5 10 Time (s) Acceleration (m/s 2 ) 5 10 Time (s) Slope=(-10 m/s)/(1 s)=-10 m/s 2
Velocity (m/s) 5 10 Time (s) Acceleration (m/s 2 ) 5 10 Time (s) Position (m) Time (s)
Example problem Augustusburg Time until splash: 7 s How deep is the well?
Solution: Instantaneous velocity velocity (m/s) Time (s) Average velocity: ½ maximum velocity=35 m/s Maximum velocity = 10m/s * 7s = 70 m/s
Average velocity=distance /time 35 m/s = depth / 7s Depth = 35 m/s * 7s Depth = 245 m
