Car 2 - Position and velocity graphs
Predict what the position and velocity graphs look like for the black car, which has a constant acceleration of 3 m/s2 starting from rest.
Note that:
- Constant acceleration means the velocity graph has a constant slope.
- If the velocity steadily increases, the position graph must have a steadily increasing slope. Constant acceleration results in a parabolic position graph.
- Once again, the displacement is the area under the curve of the velocity graph.
