Questions: The graph shows the velocity of the object as a function of time. The various equal time intervals are labeled using Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV, and V.
The net force on the object always acts along the line of motion Of the object.
Which section(s) of the graph corresponds to a condition of zero net force?
Transcript text: The graph shows the velocity of the object as a function of time. The various equal time intervals are labeled using Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV, and V.
The net force on the object always acts along the line of motion Of the object.
Which section(s) of the graph corresponds to a condition of zero net force?
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding the Graph
The graph shows the velocity of an object as a function of time. The time intervals are labeled I, II, III, IV, and V.
Step 2: Identifying Zero Net Force Condition
Zero net force corresponds to a condition where the velocity is constant (i.e., no acceleration).
Step 3: Analyzing the Graph
Interval I: Velocity is increasing (positive acceleration).
Interval II: Velocity is constant (zero acceleration).
Interval III: Velocity is increasing (positive acceleration).
Interval IV: Velocity is constant (zero acceleration).
Interval V: Velocity is decreasing (negative acceleration).
Final Answer
The sections of the graph that correspond to a condition of zero net force are intervals II and IV.
