The Graph in the Figure Shows the X Component of the Acceleration

question 22

Short Answer

The graph in the figure shows the x component of the acceleration of a 2.4-kg object as a function of time (in ms). (a) At what time(s) does the x component of the net force on the object reach its maximum magnitude, and what is that maximum magnitude?
(b) What is the x component of the net force on the object at time t = 0.0 ms and at t = 4.0 ms?

Definitions:

Correlation Coefficient

A statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together, showing the strength and direction of a linear relationship between them.

Variables

Elements, features, or factors that are likely to vary or change and can be manipulated, measured, or controlled in scientific research.

Independent Variable

A factor or condition that is intentionally varied by the researcher to observe its impact on the dependent variable in an experiment.

Dependent Variable

In an experiment, it is the variable that is being tested and measured, expected to change as a result of manipulations to the independent variable.
