Has this particle exceeded 30 km/h on a velocity vs. time graph?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on determining whether a particle has exceeded a velocity of 30 km/h using a velocity-time graph. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the relationship between displacement-time and velocity-time graphs. By analyzing the displacement (Δx) over a time period (Δt), one can estimate the average velocity without needing an additional graph. A clear understanding of these concepts allows for a quick assessment of the particle's velocity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of displacement-time and velocity-time graph relationships
  • Knowledge of calculating average velocity using displacement (Δx) and time (Δt)
  • Familiarity with graphing techniques in physics
  • Basic concepts of kinematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of kinematics in physics
  • Learn how to construct and interpret velocity-time graphs
  • Explore the relationship between displacement and velocity
  • Practice calculating average velocity from given displacement and time data
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, educators teaching kinematics, and anyone interested in understanding motion analysis through graphs.

hi
how can i draw velocity - time graph to determine whetere this particle has ever exceeeded the 30 km/h velocity or not ?

If that is what you are asked to do, you can draw the average velocity over each ##\Delta t##, just use the given formula.

First of all, let's check if you have the conceptual understanding of the relationship between displacement-time graph, and velocity-time graph. Do you know the relationship between those two graphs? Or more importantly, do you know how to find the velocity if you are given a displacement over a time period?

The graph gives you a hint on what you need to get a rough estimate of the velocity, i.e. it gives you a measure of the displacement Δx and the time for that displacement Δt.

Zz.
 
Actually, if you understand the relationship that zapper has asked you about, you don't even NEED another graph, you can just glance at the one you have and have your answer pretty much immediately.
