Using a Graph to Find Out Where and When

The symbol x represents the


instantaneous position of
the object—the position at a
particular instant.
Section
2.3 Position-Time Graphs
Equivalent Representations

Words, pictorial representations, motion diagrams, data tables,


and position-time graphs are all representations that are
equivalent. They all contain the same information about an
object’s motion.

Depending on what you want to find out about an object’s


motion, some of the representations will be more useful than
others.

2.3 Position-Time Graphs
Considering the Motion of Multiple Objects
• In the graph, when and
where does runner B
pass runner A?

• In the figure, examine


the graph to find the
intersection of the two
lines representing the
motion of A and motion
of B.

• These lines intersect at


45.0 s and at about 190
m.

Considering the Motion of Multiple Objects

Solution: B passes A at about


a distance of 190 m from the
origin, at a time 45.0 s after A
has passed the origin.

Question 1
A position-time graph of
an athlete winning the
100-m run is shown.
Estimate the time taken
by the athlete to reach
65 m.

A. 6.0 s C. 5.5 s

B. 6.5 s D. 7.0 s
Section
2.3 Section Check

Answer 1

Answer: B

Reason:

Draw a horizontal line from the position of 65 m to the line of best fit. Draw
a vertical line to touch the time axis from the point of intersection of the
horizontal line and line of best fit. Note the time where the vertical line
crosses the time axis. This is the estimated time taken by the athlete to
reach 65 m.

Question 2
A position-time graph of
an athlete winning the
100-m run is shown.
What was the
instantaneous position
of the athlete at 2.5 s?

A. 15 m C. 25 m

B. 20 m D. 30 m
Section
2.3 Section Check
Answer 2
Answer: C

Reason:

Draw a vertical line from the


position of 2.5 m to the line
of best fit. Draw a horizontal
line to touch the position
axis from the point of
intersection of the vertical
line and line of best fit. Note
the position where the
horizontal line crosses the
position axis. This is the
instantaneous position of
the athlete at 2.5 s.

Question 3

From the following


position-time graph of
two brothers running a
100-m run, analyze at
what time do both
brothers have the
same position. The
smaller brother started
the race from the 20-m
mark.
Section
2.3 Section Check

Answer 3

The two brothers meet


at 6 s. In the figure,
we find the
intersection of line
representing the
motion of one brother
with the line
representing the
motion of other
brother. These lines
intersect at 6 s and at
60 m.
