MovingManAccelerationForm.docMoving Man - Acceleration vs. Time Graphs
Scenario A: The man is moving at a constant positive velocity. (20 Points)
Scenario B: The man is moving at a constant negative velocity. (19 Points)
Scenario C: The man is moving with a constant positive acceleration. (20 Points)
Scenario D: The man is moving with a constant negative acceleration. (19 Points)
Questions (3 Points Each)
1. What is the relationship between the slope of the displacement-time graph and velocity?
2. What is the relationship between the slope of the velocity-time graph and acceleration?
3. What is the relationship between the area under the velocity-time graph and displacement?
4. What is the relationship between the area under the acceleration-time graph and velocity?
Conclusion (10 Points)
Explain your reasoning for the graph’s appearance before running the simulation.
