2.3.5: Sketch velocity vs. time graph

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Exercise 2.3.5. Sketch velocity vs. time graph

Observe the two animations (position is given in meters and time is given in seconds)Restart.

  1. Sketch the velocity as a function of time for each animation. Draw both functions on the same graph in order to compare the two animations.
  2. Make a second velocity vs. time sketch for Animation 1. On your graph, make sure to have a long enough time interval that the ball's position is between x=2 m and x=2 m twice. What is the area under this portion of the velocity curve? Remember the convention that area under a curve above the axis is considered positive and area below the axis is considered negative. How would your answer change if you did this for Animation 2?
