Solution Summary

This tutorial analyzes the motion of a Position versus Time and Velocity versus Time graph.

Solution Preview

Hello and thank you for posting your question to BrainMass.

The key to these questions is the fact that velocity is the rate of change of the position with respect to time; that is, the velocity function is the derivative of the position function with respect to time.

1. The only thing we know from the graph is that the position is changing (in particular, rising) with time; we don't know the rate of the rise.

Velocity is the rate of change of the position with respect to time.

In this case there is a ...
