Step 1
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. In other words, it's the slope of the velocity-time graph. So, to find the net force at a given time, we need to find the slope of the graph at that time and multiply it by the mass of the Show more…

Figure P5.51 shows the velocity graph of a $2.0 \mathrm{kg}$ object as it moves along the $x$ -axis. What is the net force acting on this object at $t=1$ s? $\mathrm{At} 4 \mathrm{s} ?$ At $7 \mathrm{s} ?$

Figure $\mathrm{P} 5.44$ shows the net force acting on a $2.0 \mathrm{~kg}$ object as it moves along the $x$ -axis. The object is at rest at the origin at $t=0 \mathrm{~s} .$ What are its acceleration and velocity at $t=6.0 \mathrm{~s} ?$
A single force with $x$ -component $F_{x}$ acts on a 2.0 kg object as it moves along the $x$ -axis. A graph of $F_{x}$ versus $t$ is shown in Figure P5,32. Draw an acceleration graph ( $a_{x}$ versus $t$ ) for this object.
