An object is moving along a straight line. The graph shows the object's position from the starting point as a function of time.

(a) What was the instantaneous velocity of the object at t = 4 s?

(b) In which segments of the graph does the object have the highest speed?

(c) At which time does the object reverse its direction of motion?

An object is at x = 0 at t= 0 and moves along the x axis according to the velocity-time graph in Figure P2.62. (a) What is the object's acceleration between 0 and 4.0 s? (b) What is the object's acceleration between 4.0 s and 9.0 s? (c) What is the object's acceleration between 13.0 s and 18.0 s? (d) At what time(s) is the object moving with the lowest speed? (e) At what time is the object farthest from x= 0? (1) What is the final position x of the object at t = 18.0 s? (g) Through what total distance has the object moved between t= 0 and t=18.0 s?

An object that moves along a straight line has the velocity-versus-time graph shown in the figure below. At time t = 0, the object has position x = 0.

a. At time t = 5 s, is the acceleration of the object positive, negative, or zero?

b. At time t = 8 s, is the object speeding up, slowing down, or moving with constant speed?

c. Write an expression for the position of the object as a function of time. 

d. Use your expression from part (c) to determine (if any) at which the object reaches its maximum position. 

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object's velocity is a linear function of time. The equation Gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation Where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.
