Answer #344

The answers for each of the questions are presented in order; shown for each case as jpeg figures are

Question (a): (1) the theoretical graph of d(t) vs. t followed by (2) the actual experimental graph of d(t) vs. t,

Question (b): (1) the theoretical graph of v(t) vs. t followed by (2) the actual experimental graph of v(t) vs. t.

A video of my motion can be seen by clicking your mouse on the experimental d(t) vs. t or v(t) vs. t graph.

Question (a): the answer is Video #4.

Question (b): the answer is Video #4.

Notice that Video #4 is the proper solution to both Question (a) and Question (b), while none of the other videos are correct d vs t or v vs. t sequences for either of the theoretical given.

Your final task for this question is to draw the d vs. t and v vs. t graphs for the motion sequences seen in the remaining three videos. When you have drawn these graphs you may click here to see the correct answers.
