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 24 meters
, then what is the value of P?
55.5 m
omit
Question 3
In
Question #1
, what was the object's average velocity between 6 and 9 seconds?
10.5 m/sec
omit
Question 4
For these graphs,
t
1
= 6 seconds, t
2
= 9 seconds
. In addition, the positions of y and P in meters are:
y = 24 m
