On the graph below, during what time interval is the velocity the highest? During what interval is the object at rest? Circle the portion(s) of the curve where you think the object is accelerating. Put a “*” on the portion of the curve where you think it is decelerating. Distance vs. Time of an Object on a Track ance Dist (m) A B Time (S) C 2.

At what point is it decelerating? Is there any point when acceleration is equal to zero? 7. A runner in an 800 meter race runs the first 400.0m in 45.3seconds, but then quickens her pace during the second 400.0 meters, completing the second 400.0 m in 42.1seconds. Calculate the average speed for the first and second 400.0 meters, and the average speed for the entire race. (Show all work) 8. A velocity vs. time graph of a car traveling down the street appears as a straight line sloping upwards. What can you infer about the acceleration of the car during the time frame depicted by the graph? 9. A jaguar charges at a peccary (a wild pig) foraging for seeds under the forest canopy. After 3.0 seconds, it is traveling at a speed of 10.3m/s. What was the average acceleration over this charge? (Show all work) 10.
