Multiple Choice

What is the instantaneous velocity at t = 3 seconds?

• 4 m/s

• 2 m/s

Calculating Acceleration from V vs t Graphs

• Slope of V vs t Graph = Acceleration

• Slope (m) = Rise / Run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

• What would be the acceleration of this object?

• Pick 2 coordinate sets.

• (x1,y1)(x2,y2).....(0,0)(4,8)

• Plug into slope equation....

• m = (8-0)/(4-0) = 8/4 = 2 m/s/s (units for V on graph are wrong)
