Why velocity in graph 1 is positive and in graph 2 is negative?
The discussion revolves around interpreting velocity-time graphs, specifically addressing why one graph indicates positive velocity while another suggests negative velocity. The subject area pertains to kinematics and graphical analysis of motion.
The conversation is ongoing, with participants questioning the assumptions made about the graphs. Some guidance is provided regarding the interpretation of acceleration, but there is no explicit consensus on the definitions or interpretations being discussed.
There is a mention of negative acceleration in all three plots, which may influence the understanding of the velocity interpretations. The original poster's intent and the clarity of the graphs are also under scrutiny.
I don't think so. The acceleration is negative in all three plots.sojsail said:Could it be that you intended to ask about acceleration?
