Question

position vs time
the starting position of the object is
the object is traveling at a velocity of
position (m)
time (s)

Explanation:

Step1: Find starting position

Starting position is position at \( t=0 \). From graph, \( x(0)=2 \) m.

Step2: Calculate velocity

Velocity = slope of position-time graph. Slope = \( \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{14-2}{3-0} = 4 \) m/s.

Answer:

Starting position: 2 m
Velocity: 4 m/s
