Motion Plots

Part I: Multi-Segment Graph Analysis

Describe the object's direction and state of motion during each of the following intervals: 0–3 sec, 3–6 sec, 6–8 sec, and 8 sec+

Interval	Motion Answers (Set A)
0–3 s	Increasing velocity (positive constant acceleration)
3–6 s	At rest (V = 0 m/s)
6–8 s	Constant backward velocity (V = −7.5 m/s)
8 s+	Maintaining constant backward velocity (V = −7.5 m/s)

Interval	Motion Answers (Set B)
0–3 s	Increasing acceleration (a)
3–6 s	Constant high velocity (V = 15 m/s)
6–8 s	Constant deceleration (a = −7.5 m/s²)
8 s+	Maintaining deceleration rate (a = −7.5 m/s²)

Part II: Interval Behavior Analysis

Reference the curves below to analyze the velocity dynamics within the summary table.

Time Interval (sec)	Motion Description	Acceleration (a)
0–2	Speeding up	a = −5 m/s²
2–3	Slowing down to a stop	a = 10 m/s²
3–4	Speeding up	a = 10 m/s²
4–∞	Constant Speed = 10 m/s	a = 0
