Practice Problems
Uniform Acceleration: SVA Graphs
Directions:
On this worksheet you will have an opportunity to practice the relationships between families of position-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs. Please note that the diagrams are not drawn to scale.

Question #1
, if the position of
point y equals 23 meters
, then what is the value of P?
273 m
omit

Question #1
, what was the object's average velocity between 4 and 14 seconds?
25 m/sec
omit
Question 4
For these graphs,
t
1
= 4 seconds, t
2
= 14 seconds
. In addition, the positions of y and P in meters are:
y = 23 m

omit
Question 8
For these graphs,
t
1
= 5 seconds, t
2
= 14 seconds, v
