The problem:
A graph is constructed representing velocity vs. clock time for the interval between clock times t = 5 seconds and t = 13 seconds. The graph consists of a straight line from the point (5 sec, 16 cm/s) to the point (13 sec, 40 cm/s).
What is the clock time at the midpoint of this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
(13s + 5s)/2 = 9s
#$&*
What is the velocity at the midpoint of this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
(40cm/s + 16cm/s)/2 = 28cm/s
#$&*
How far do you think the object travels during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
28cm/s * 8s = 224cm
#$&*
By how much does the clock time change during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
13s 5s = 8s
#$&*
By how much does velocity change during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
40cm/s 16cm/s = 24cm/s
#$&*
What is the average rate of change of velocity with respect to clock time on this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
24cm/s / 8s = 3cm/s^2
#$&*
What is the rise of the graph between these points?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
24cm/s
#$&*
What is the run of the graph between these points?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
8s
#$&*
What is the slope of the graph between these points?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
24cm/s / 8s = 3cm/s^2
#$&*
What does the slope of the graph tell you about the motion of the object during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
Its speeding up.
#$&*
What is the average rate of change of the object's velocity with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
Its velocity is increasing at a constant rate.
