Label Position Vs Time Graph

Label Position Vs Time Graph#

Each of the following 5 statements describe the motion shown in Fig.1 labeled A through E. Label each statement with the letter of the corresponding line on the position vs. time graph. In your answers consider right to be the positive x-direction and left to be the negative x-direction.

The figure of a position vs time graph with time on the horizontal axis depicts 5 motions. A starts out postive and shows an increasing curve as time increases. B starts out negative and shows a constant increase as time increases, the line goes from negative to positive. C has a negative parabola-like shape, it starts and ends with a positive position. D shows a constant decrease as time increases, the position starts out positive and ends negative. E shows a line that remains in the same place as time increase.
