But ignoring that special lab, the best way to build or verify a model is with a graph. Let’s look at the constant velocity cart again. Say that the cart starts at time t = t 0 and position x = x 0.

With this distance and time value, I can simply plug it into the kinematic equation and solve for the acceleration. This would give an acceleration of 0.1053 m/s 2 .

There are ten exam-style questions covering topics such as circuit symbols, atomic structure and distance-time graphs. This activity should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. Back to top ...
