Graphical Analysis of Motion:
Refer to the graphs to answer the following questions
(m/s)
(m/s)
3.5
5.5
1.0
1.5
0.0
1.3

Calculate the displacement and acceleration for the motion described for each of the above graphs, respectively.
An object is tossed vertically and its motion is plotted on the following graph. Answer the following questions using the graph:
(m/s)
4.5
a. Calculate the object's acceleration.
1.1
t (s)
At what time does the object reach its highest point? -5.5
Calculate the displacement for the object when it reaches its highest point.
Find the total displacement for the object from t=0s to 1.1s. Then sketch the corresponding position-time graph.
