Select the graph showing Tmax versus D1 after answering the question.
O His movement stopped.
O His time was constant.
O His acceleration was positive.
Question 6
Velocity vs Time
Time (sec)
Based on the graph of velocity over time, which could be the initial velocity and the final velocity for this graph?
O initial = 2.5 m/s; final = 2.5 m/s
O initial = 0 m/s; final = 2.5 m/s
O initial = 3.0 m/s; final = 6.0 m/s
O initial = 6.Om/s: final = 3.0 m/s
Velocity (m/s)
25. A student wants to perform an experiment where they have to measure the time interval for
a ball bearing rolling down a slope (as with your first practical), in order to determine the
acceleration on the ball-bearing. They take 1 measurement for every distance (they move the
end of the measuring equipment 10 cm further way every time), and then they plot a graph.
This graph comes out with very scattered values that do not form a straight line at all. What
could be the reason for this? Choose all correct answers.
A. They should have taken more than one measurement at every distance.
B. The stopping wires might have malfunctioned sometimes, so they should have made sure
that the stopping wires only touched the metal when the ball bearing rolled over it.
C. The graph is fine with only one value measured per distance. It is the acceleration that was
not consistent. Nothing needs to be changed.
D. The graph axes need to be adjusted to make the data show a straight line.

For this series of 5 questions, a block is released from the position shown with a certain initial velocity. It then slides down the smooth (friction-less) path for which the function is given in the image. You will be asked to solve for different things. Please pay attention: the numbers may change from problem to problem since they are randomized. 2) As the block slides down, its potential energy converts into kinetic energy. If its initial velocity is 1.5 m/s (at x = 3 m), determine its velocity, v, at x = 3.0 m. Your answer must include 2 places after the decimal point and the proper unit.
