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 25 meters
, then what is the value of P?
81 m
omit
Question 3

Question #1
, what was the object's average velocity between 6 and 10 seconds?
14 m/sec
omit
Question 4
For these graphs,
t
1
= 6 seconds, t
2
= 10 seconds
. In addition, the positions of y and P in meters are:
y = 25 m

v
f
= -6 m/sec
, then what is the value of v
o
?
1.1 x 10

73.5 m
omit
Question 8
For these graphs,
t
1
= 7 seconds, t
2
= 10 seconds, v
o
