Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around converting a distance-time (d-t) graph to a velocity-time (v-t) graph, with participants exploring the implications of the graph's features and terminology. The subject area is kinematics, specifically relating to graph interpretation in physics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to convert a d-t graph to a v-t graph and seeks confirmation on their progress. Participants question the accuracy of specific segments of the graph and the terminology used, particularly regarding the slope and its implications.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing observations about the original poster's graph and raising questions about the slope of the graph. There is no explicit consensus, but there are indications of productive dialogue regarding the interpretation of the graph.

Contextual Notes

Participants note differences in terminology, such as the use of "s-t" instead of "d-t" in Hong Kong, which may affect understanding. There is also mention of potential mislabeling on the graph, which could lead to confusion in interpretation.

Homework Statement
hi everyone. i am a student studying in hong kong and i have problems when i am preparing for my studies in this summer vacation. My tutorial lesson teacher gave me this graph and told me to convert it to a v-t graph.

i have done several steps and i am wondering if i am having a good start. Can you draw me a correct answer over here? I am really grateful for your help! Thanks!


*(A,B,C,D,E,F,G) are just points, they can be ignored.

There is a problem on your c-d pencil line on what I assume is your velocity v. time graph.

It also looks like you have an S written on the y-axis of the graph drawn in pencil?

This also probably belongs in the introduction to physics section. I don't know if the moderators move these threads.
 
in hong kong we called d-t graphs as s-t graphs (as i know)

sorry that's wrong. the graph below is a v-t graph
 
ok then...

Do you see what is wrong with the c to d line drawn on your s-t graph?

s for speed... ?If it really is a v-t graph, then the slope is important, it indicates direction.

Is the slope of your d-t graph + or - in the c-d time frame?
