The impossible to walk motion graphs
As you can see this is a distance time graph and its fairly simple. The object starts out at one meter away from the origin and stays for 1 second and starts moving away from the origin. Then, at 3 seconds it stays again for 3 seconds and at 6 seconds the object starts moving back towards the origin and stop at about 1.75 meters away from the origin.
Another distance time graph is shown here an it involves the basic movements like last one. Starts at 3 meters and walks towards the origin and stops and stays at 1.5 meters fro about a second and moves more closer and stays again and eventually starts moving away from it.
This is where it got hard. The velocity time graphs. The main concept was that negative velocity just meant moving in the backwards direction. This is pretty much showing that the object stayed put fro 2 second and started moving away form the origin at 0.5 m/s for 3 seconds and stopped again and started moving towards the origin at a constant velocity of 0.5 m/s
This is one of the hardest graphs there was. Now the velocity changes over a period of time so there is acceleration involved. For the first four seconds the object accelerates to a a velocity up to o.5 m/s away from the origin and then starts moving at a constant speed for two seconds and the walks towards the origin at a constant speed for 3 seconds. Then, the objects comes to a stop.
Yay!!! this stuff got easy again.
Another distance time graph.
The object starts moving away from the origin for 3.5 seconds starting from near a meter up to two meters.
The object stayed put for three seconds at 2 meters and starts moving away from the origin again till the graph ends.
Okay, so this one looks like one of the above ones but its not.
Its a velocity time graph showing an object moving away from the origin at a constant speed and then moving back towards the origin at the same constant speed and at around 6.75 seconds the object stops moving.
So those were the six graphs we walked for an in class lab and a brief description for all of them.
I know its not very accurate but hey we are not robots so we tried are best to match the default graphs. Some of which were really hard.
