Each of the images below represents a plot. The horizontal axis on each plot represents time. The vertical axis represents whichever quantity (position, velocity, acceleration) is being discussed. The origin of each plot is represented by 0 , and the function is represented by the colored line. For each of the statements at the bottom select the image that best represents the requested plot. You may use the same image for multiple statements if it is appropriate. You hold your arm out over a cliff and release a rock from rest. Consider the time from just after the rock leaves your hand to just before it hits the ground. Which graph best represents the velocity of the rock as a function of time? (Choose up to be the positive direction.) You hold your arm out over a cliff and release a rock from rest. Consider the time from just after the rock leaves your hand to just before it hits the ground. Which graph best represents the position of the rock as a function of time? (Choose up to be the positive direction and choose the point the rock is released as the origin.) A chipmunk is running West at a constant velocity. Which graph best represents the velocity of the chipmunk as a function of time? (Choose East to be the positive direction.) You throw a stone straight up, and it falls back into your hand. Consider the time from just after the stone leaves your hand to just before it hits your hand coming back down. Which graph best represents the acceleration of the stone as a function of time? (Choose up to be the positive direction.) Tries 11/12 Previous Tries This discussion is closed.
