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.

3. For the data collected above, what is the acceleration of the car? Explain how this was

determined.
