V Represents in - V - (Speed) - V A Implies

The document discusses velocity and acceleration based on x-t plots, noting that the sign of velocity corresponds to the slope and the sign of acceleration corresponds to whether the curve is concave up or down. It also notes that points (a), (b), and (d) on a sample figure involve increasing speed.

14. From Eq. 2-4 and Eq.

2-9, we note that the sign of the velocity is the sign of the slope in an x-vs-t plot,
and the sign of the acceleration corresponds to whether such a curve is concave up or concave down. In
the interest of saving space, we indicate sample points for parts (a)-(d) in a single figure; this means
that all points are not at t = 1 s (which we feel is an acceptable modification of the problem – since the
datum t = 1 s is not used).
(b) Any change from zero
(d) to non-zero values
of v represents in-
creasing |v | (speed).
Also, v  a implies
that the particle is
going faster. Thus,
points (a), (b) and
(c) (a) (d) involve increasing
speed.
