1. A particle moves along a horizontal path with its velocity varying
with time as shown. The average acceleration of the particle is
_________.
A) 0.4 m/s2 B) 0.4 m/s2
C) 1.6 m/s2 D) 1.6 m/s2
Today’s Objectives:
Students will be able to:
1. Construct s-t, v-t, a-t, a-s, v-s graphs to solve position, velocity and
acceleration of a particle
• Construct v-t graph from s-t graph • Construct s-t graph from v-t graph

Plan: Find slopes of the v-t curve and draw the a-t graph.
Find the area under the v-t curve. It is the distance traveled.
Solution:
Construct the a-t graph:
For 0 ≤ t ≤ 4 a = dv/dt = 1.25 m/s²
For 4 ≤ t ≤ 10 a = dv/dt = 0 m/s²
For 10 ≤ t ≤ 15 a = dv/dt = -1 m/s²
