Question
- as time increases, what happens to the speed?
- what is the speed at 5 s?
- assuming constant acceleration, what would be the speed at 14 s?
- at what time would the object reach a speed of 45 km/hr?
- what is the object’s acceleration?
- what would the shape of the graph be if a speed of 50 km/hr is maintained from 10 s to 20 s?
- based on the information in problem 6, calculate the acceleration from 10 s to 20 s.
Question 1
The graph is a speed - time graph (assuming, as the x - axis is time and we are analyzing speed with respect to time). In a speed - time graph, if the graph is a straight line passing through the origin (or has a positive slope), as time (x - axis) increases, speed (y - axis) increases. From the given graph (even with the partial view, the initial part is a line from (0,0)), so as time increases, speed increases.
Step 1: Determine the acceleration (slope of speed - time graph)
Assume from the graph, the relationship between speed (\(v\)) and time (\(t\)) is linear (\(v=at\)) as it passes through the origin. If we take a point (e.g., \(t = 2s\), \(v = 10\) (hypothetical, but consistent with the written answer of 25 at \(t = 5\))), then \(a=\frac{v}{t}=\frac{10}{2}=5\).
Step 2: Calculate speed at \(t = 5s\)
Using the formula \(v = at\), with \(a = 5\) and \(t=5s\), we get \(v=5\times5 = 25\).
Step 1: Determine the acceleration
From the linear relationship \(v = at\), we found \(a = 5\) (from previous steps, as the graph is linear with slope 5).
Step 2: Calculate speed at \(t = 14s\)
Using the formula \(v=at\), with \(a = 5\) and \(t = 14s\), we have \(v=5\times14=70\).

As time increases, the speed increases.
Question 2
(Assuming the graph has a slope that we can infer. Let's assume that at \(t = 2s\), speed \(v=10\) (for example, to get a slope of 5). Then the equation of the line is \(v = at\), where \(a\) is acceleration. If at \(t = 2\), \(v = 10\), then \(a=\frac{10}{2}=5\). So at \(t = 5s\), \(v=5\times5 = 25\) (units not specified, but following the earlier written answer).
