## Solution:

### Part A

The velocity of the particle is the slope of the position vs time graph. Since the position graph is compose of straight lines, we can say that the velocity is constant for several time ranges.

Based from the data in the table, we can draw the velocity diagram

### Part B

Since the velocity is constant between 0 seconds and 2 seconds, we say that the acceleration is 0.

### Part C

Since there is a sudden change in velocity at exactly 2 seconds in a very short amount of time, we say that the acceleration is undefined in this case.

## Solution:

The velocity at time 2.5 seconds is 5 m/s.

The velocity at time 7.5 seconds is -4 m/s.

## Solution:

The position vs time graph is shown in the figure below.

## Solution:

Since the graph is a straight line, we can use the two points before and after the specified time to determine the slope of the line. The slope of the velocity-time graph is the acceleration.

The two points are $\left(0,\:165\right)\:and\:\left(20,\:228\right)$

The velocityis computed as

$a=m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

$a=\frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_1}$

$a=\frac{228\:m/s-165\:m/s}{20\:s-0\:s}$

$a=3.2\:m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration is verified to be 3.2 m/s² at t=10 s.

## Solution:

Since the graph is a straight line, we can use any two points to determine the slope of the line. The slope of the position-time graph is the velocity.

The two points are $\left(20,\:6.95\right)\:and\:\left(40,\:11.7\right)$

The velocityis computed as

$v=m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

$v=\frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_1}$

$v=\frac{11.7\:km-6.95\:km}{40\:s-20\:s}$

$v=0.238\:km/s$

Therefore, the velocity is 0.238 km/s.

## Solution:

Since the graph is a straight line, we can use any two points to determine the slope of the line. The slope of the position-time graph is the velocity.

The two points are $\left(0,\:2.80\right)\:and\:\left(20,\:6.95\right)$

The velocityis computed as

$v=m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

$v=\frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_1}$

$v=\frac{6.95\:km-2.80\:km}{20\:s-0\:s}$

$v=0.208\:km/s$

Therefore, the velocity is 0.208 km/s.

## Solution:

### Part A

Based from the graph shown in figure 2.60, we can choose two points, one before and one after t=20 s. We have the points $\left(15,\:988\right)\:and\:\left(25,\:2138\right)$.

The slope is computed using the formula:

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

$m=\frac{2138\:m-988\:m}{25\:s-15\:s}$

$m=115\:m/s$

Therefore, we have verified that the velocity of the jet car is 115 m/s at t=20 seconds.

### Part B

Since the graph is a straight line, we can use any two points to determine the slope of the line. The slope of the velocity-time graph is the acceleration.

The two points are $\left(10,\:65\right)\:and\:\left(25,\:140\right)$

The acceleration is computed as

$a=m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

$a=\frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_1}$

$a=\frac{140\:m/s-65\:m/s}{25\:s-10\:s}$

$a=5\:m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration is verified to be 5.0 m/s².

## Solution:

### Part A

The total number of radians made by the object is the area under the graph. Based on the given graph, the total number of radians is

$\displaystyle \theta _{rad}=60\:radians$

Convert this to revolutions, knowing that 2π radians is equal to 1 revolution.

$\displaystyle revolutions=60\:rad\times \frac{1\:rev}{2\pi }=\frac{60}{2\pi }rev=9.5\:rev$
