Acceleration/time graphs!
Hey all...
I'm having tons of trouble with what seems to be an extremely easy question.
The question portrays a toy car...which can move in either direction along a horizontal line (the + position axis) The car is given a large force toward the right of constant magnitude is applied to the car. (it says to assume that friction is so small that it can be ignored).
The task is to sketch on an acceleration/time graph a solid line caused by the applied large force.
My guess was that the graph would look like a perfectly straight line somewhere above zero...but I am usually always wrong about this kind of thing
Can anyone help me? Thanks!
