    UNIT II Worksheet 1

    1. Consider the position vs. time graph below for cyclists A and B.

    a. Do the cyclists start at the same point? How do you know? If not, which is ahead?

    No. According to the graph you can see that the position of B is higher than the
    position of rider A. Therefore, rider B is ahead rider A when they start.

    b. At t= 7s, which cyclist is ahead? How do you know?

    Since t= 7s is to the right of t= 5s. We can use this information to say that A is
    higher at t= 7s

    c. Which cyclist is travelling faster at t = 3s? How do you know?

    Rider A has a greater slope therefore rider A is faster than rider B. We know
    that speed is equal to the slope of the line.

    d. Are their velocities equal at any time? How do you know?

    No, the lines that are shown are straight. We know that straight lines have a slope
    that is constant. Knowing this we know that the slope for rider A is greater
    than the slope of rider B. Because of this we know that A is traveling faster, and
    they will never go at equal speeds at any time.

    e. What is happening at the intersection of lines A and B?

    At the intersection of lines, A and B, is where they will be at the same place at the
    same time.

    2. Consider the new position vs. time graph below for cyclists A and B.

    a. How does the motion of the cyclist A in the new graph compare to that of A in the
    previous graph from page one?

    In the new graph cyclist, A is traveling in a different direction.

    b. How does the motion of cyclist B in the new graph compare to that of B in the
    previous graph?

    The motion of cyclist B doesn’t change in the new graph.

    c. Which cyclist has the greater speed? How do you know?
    Cyclist A has more speed because we know the slope for A is greater than the
    graph for cyclist B. Since A is the same in both graphs just go in different
    directions we can conclude this.

    d. Describe what is happening at the intersection of lines A and B.

    The intersections of lines A and B shows that rider A and Rider B will be at that
    point at the same time.

    e. Which cyclist traveled a greater distance during the first 5 seconds? How do you
    know?
    Cyclist A traveled more during the first 5 seconds. We know this because the
    change of rider A is greater than the change of rider B in the positions during
    the first 5 seconds.
