Exam 3 review
1. For each description below, state which shape would match the position, velocity, and
acceleration graphs. For example, a car moving right with a constant speed would be: position =
4, velocity = 1, and acceleration = 3.
a. A ball is tossed straight upwards into the air and peaks at the top of flight.
b. A car begins at rest and accelerates to the right at a constant acceleration.
c. A car traveling to the left slows to rest at a constant acceleration.
d. A ball is dropped from a tall tower.
e. A hovercraft coasts to the left at a constant speed.
2. For each pair of graphs above, state whether they match or do not. If they do not match,
explain why.
time (s) position (m)
0 0
1 2
2 8
3 18
4 32
5 50
6 72
3. For the data collected above, what is the acceleration of the car? Explain how this was
determined.
