Problem 2.5
Please wait for the animation to completely load.
Observe the two animations (position is
given in meters and time is given in seconds). Restart.
- 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.
- 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?
