The discussion centers on the position-vs-time graph of an object experiencing a constant negative force, such as a car slowing down. Participants clarify that a negative force can lead to a decrease in velocity, resulting in a downward curve on the graph, contrary to the initial assumption of an upward curve resembling a logarithmic function.
The position vs. time graph is wavy and I assume the only point where there is acceleration is where there is a curve, right? It seems like the acceleration is also 0 at the curve though. Is it even possible?

A position vs. time graph shows how an object's position changes over time. It is used to represent the motion of an object by displaying the object's location at different points in time. The ...
Homework Statement Position vs Time graph is given. It is a perfect parabola. So it has a quadratic equation Y: Ax^2+Bx+C that fits it perfectly. (a) Determine acceleration, initial velocity, initial position (b) Sketch a motion map (c) Sketch a v vs t graph My attempt: initial position: 50 m off the ground (along y axis) from the graph t=0 sec ...
This isn't really a homework problem, but I wasn't sure where else to ask this. The area under (integral) a velocity vs. time graph is total displacement, or if it is absolute value'd, total distance traveled. So then, what does the area under a position vs. time graph signify, if anything...
I feel terrible for even having to ask this. I'm doing A2 at the moment, and we've gone through these sorts of lessons ever since my early AS days. I'm trying to review my notes cos exams are coming soon and I did some questions, and I'm apparently doing them wrong with what the answers are...
To create a position versus time graph for a car moving towards an observer and accelerating, the graph should start at a point representing the car's initial position and curve upward, indicating increasing speed. A straight line would imply uniform motion, which contradicts the car's accelerating behavior. Some participants debated the appropriate placement of the origin, with suggestions ...
Homework Statement The graph of acceleration versus time for an object in linear motion. Assuming the object starts from rest at the origin at t = 0, find the velocity and position of the object at times t = 1 through 10 seconds.
