Solution

The new image you've uploaded is identical to the previous graph, showing the velocity vxv_x as a function of time tt. The approach to solving Parts A, B, and C will be the same as before:

Part A: Find the particle's position at t=3.0st = 3.0 \, \text{s}

From the velocity-time graph, we know that the area under the curve represents displacement. The shape under the curve from t=0st = 0 \, \text{s} to t=3.0st = 3.0 \, \text{s} is a right triangle.

  • Base of the triangle: 3.0s3.0 \, \text{s}
  • Height of the triangle: 6.0m/s6.0 \, \text{m/s}

The area (displacement) is calculated as: Displacement=12×base×height=12×3.0s×6.0m/s=9.0m\text{Displacement} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3.0 \, \text{s} \times 6.0 \, \text{m/s} = 9.0 \, \text{m}

Thus, the particle's position at t=3.0st = 3.0 \, \text{s} is 9.0m9.0 \, \text{m}.

Part B: Find the particle's velocity at t=3.0st = 3.0 \, \text{s}

From the graph, the velocity at t=3.0st = 3.0 \, \text{s} is: vx=0m/sv_x = 0 \, \text{m/s}

Part C: Find the particle's acceleration at t=3.0st = 3.0 \, \text{s}

The slope of the velocity-time graph gives the acceleration. The slope is calculated as: a=ΔvxΔt=0m/s6m/s3.0s=2.0m/s2a = \frac{\Delta v_x}{\Delta t} = \frac{0 \, \text{m/s} - 6 \, \text{m/s}}{3.0 \, \text{s}} = -2.0 \, \text{m/s}^2

Final Answers:

  • Part A: The particle's position at t=3.0st = 3.0 \, \text{s} is 9.0m9.0 \, \text{m}.
  • Part B: The particle's velocity at t=3.0st = 3.0 \, \text{s} is 0m/s0 \, \text{m/s}.
  • Part C: The particle's acceleration at t=3.0st = 3.0 \, \text{s} is 2.0m/s2-2.0 \, \text{m/s}^2.
