Motion Graph Simulation 7

Graph A Graph B Graph C Graph D

Description:

A simulation of a projectile is shown on the left. You can see four choices of graphs for the y- acceleration of the projectile by selecting from the table.

Question 1:

Look at each graph and decide which graph is the correct one for the y-acceleration.

Question 2:

You will notice there is a green and blue arrow attacted to the projectile. What quantity (eg. poistion, velocity, acceleration, force, etc.) does each arrow represent?
