A child standing on a bridge throws a rock straight down. The rock leaves the child's hand at t=0s. If we take
upward as the positive direction. which of the graphs shown below best represents the acceleration of the
stone as a function of time? - ANSWER-graph is acceleration versus time. straight line about half way up the
positive y-axis
.A child standing on a bridge throws a rock straight down. The rock leaves the child's hand at time t=0s. If we
take upward as the positive direction, which of the graphs shown below best represents the velocity of the
stone as a function of time. - ANSWER-Graph is velocity versus time. line looks like -x and starts halfway down
on the negative y axis.
