Homework Statement
Consider the plot below describing the acceleration of a particle along a straight line with an initial position of −15 m and an initial velocity of −3 m/s.
A. What is the velocity at 5 s? Answer in units of m/s.
B. What is the position at 5 s? Answer in units of m.
Homework Equations
v = v0 + at
The Attempt at a Solution
For part A, V = -3 + 1(5)
= 2
For part B, V = -15 + 2(5)
= -5
---------------
Both of these answers are wrong, and I'm not sure why...There was another question with this graph that asked to find the position and velocity of the particle at 1 s, and this worked for that, so I'm not sure what to do now...
