Question

5) A car moving along the x direction has an acceleration, $a_x$ that varies with time as shown in the figure. At the moment, $t = 0$ s, the car is located at $x = 12$ m and has a velocity of 6 m/s in the positive x direction. What is the velocity of the car at $t = 5.0$ s? 5 $a_x$ (m/s²) 4 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 t (s) A) 16 m/s B) 10 m/s C) 6 m/s D) 26 m/s E) 32 m/s

Step 1

We can see that the acceleration is constant at 3 m/s^2 for the first second, then it drops to 2 m/s^2 for the next two seconds, and finally, it increases back to 3 m/s^2 for the last two seconds. Show more…
