This item is an annotated homework problem relating to position and velocity for introductory physics students. Given an equation for the motion of a car traveling at constant acceleration on a straight road, students analyze how to graph and describe the motion based upon the equation. Explicit explanation is provided for each component of the task. This resource is intended to supplement classroom instruction and traditional text materials. It is part of a larger collection of introductory physics homework problems.
