SOLUTIONS
CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS
1. Observing the graph to the right, determine in which interval the velocity was not constant. Explain. Since velocity is the slope of the curve in a x vs t graph we can look for the interval where the slope is not constant. That interval is BC.

2. Find the time during which the object switch v
direction. Explain. The time is between 4 and 5 where the velocity changes sign. It goes from negative to positive, which means that the particle represented switched direction.

3.True or false. An object with constant nonzero acceleration can never stop and stay stopped. Justify your answer. True. By Newton's second law, an object that experiences a net force different from zero also experiences an acceleration different from zero. So it cannot stay stopped.
4.Where, in a parabolic motion, are the vectors velocity and acceleration perpendicular? Justify your answer. At the highest point in the trajectory. Observe that at this point, the y­component of the velocity is zero. Thus the velocity is exactly horizontal and thus perpendicular to the gravitational acceleration. Any other point has vertical velocity different from zero and so the velocity is not perpendicular to the acceleration. 5. You press a book flat against a vertical wall with your hand. Draw the free body diagram of the situation. (Do not forget the force of friction)

10. You are driving home from school steadily at 95 km/h for 130 km. It then begins to rain and you slow to 65 km/h. You arrive home after driving 3 hours and 20 minutes. Your average speed was___km/h.
A. 65
B. 78 C. 80

E. 90
In order to solve this problem we need the total distance of the trip. This is equal to the sum of the partial distances. We have the first one : 130 km so we just have to find the second one. Since we have the velocity, 65 km/h, the time elapsed during the second leg is the last piece of information needed. We can obtained from the data given for the whole trip and the first part: 1
130 km
3 h−
