The problem:
A ball is moving at 10 cm/s when clock time is 4 seconds, and at 40 cm/s when clock time is 9 seconds.
• Sketch a v vs. t graph and represent these two events by the points (4 sec, 10 cm/s) and (9 s, 40 cm/s).
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
• Sketch a straight line segment between these points.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
• What are the rise, run and slope of this segment?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : Rise = 30, Run = 5, and Slope = 6
• What is the area of the graph beneath this segment?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
AREA OF TRIANGLE:
= (1/2)*b*h
= .5 * 5 * 30
= 75 units^2
AREA OF RECTANGLE BENEATH TRIANGLE:
= l * w
= 5 * 10
= 50 units^2
TOTAL AREA BENEATH SEGMENT:
75 + 50 = 125 units^2
