The discussion revolves around a velocity-time graph involving two objects, A and B. Object A maintains a constant velocity of 4 m/s, while object B starts at 8 m/s and decreases to 0 m/s over a 5-second interval. Participants are exploring the concept of instantaneous velocity and comparing the velocities of the two objects at a specific time.
Some participants are actively seeking clarification on the specific time for evaluating instantaneous velocity, while others reiterate the need to determine the velocities of both objects at 5 seconds. The discussion is ongoing, with no consensus reached yet.
There is a mention of potential confusion regarding the problem setup, and participants are working within the constraints of the information provided in the velocity-time graph.
xPiiNK said:A velocity time graph starts from 0-5 s , object A has constant velocity of 4 m/s. Object B has an initial velocity of 8 m/s and constantly decreases and reaches 0 m/s at 5 s. so i need to know what is the instantaneous velocity. Also, which of the object's instantaneous velocity is greater. sorry if this is confusing.
xPiiNK said:it asks at time 5 which instantaneous velocity is greater
