Erratic (discontinuous) motion
Graphing provides a good way to handle complex motions that would be difficult to
describe with formulas. Graphs also provide a visual description of motion and
reinforce the calculus concepts of differentiation and integration as used in dynamics
The approach builds on the facts that slope and differentiation are linked and that
integration can be thought of as finding the area under a curve

s-t graph construct v-t
Plots of position vs. time can be used to
find velocity vs. time curves. Finding the
slope of the line tangent to the motion
curve at any point is the velocity at that
point
(or )

v-t graph construct s-t

Example 1
A bicycle moves along a straight road such that it
position is described by the graph as shown.
Construct the v-t and a-t graphs for 0 ≤ t ≤ 30s.

EXAMPLE 2
A test car starts from rest
and travels along a
straight track such that it
accelerates at a constant
rate for 10 s and then
decelerates at a constant
rate. Draw the v-t and s-t
graphs and determine the
time t’ needed to stop the
car. How far has the car
traveled?
10
Solution:
v-t Graph. The v-t graph can be determined by
integrating the straight-line segments of the a-t
graph. Using initial condition v = 0 when t = 0,
v t
0 t 10s a 10;
0
dv 10 dt , v 10t
0
11
When t = 10s, v = 100m/s, using this as initial
condition for the next time period, we have
v t
10 s t t ; a 2; 100
dv 2 dt , v 2t 120

When t = 10s, s = 500m. Using this initial condition,
s t
10 s t 60 s; v 2t 120; ds 2t 120dt

v-s graph construct a-s

EXAMPLE 3
The v-s graph describing the motion of a motorcycle
is shown in Fig 12-15a. Construct the a-s graph of
the motion and determine the time needed for the
motorcycle to reach the position s = 120 m.

EXAMPLE 3
Solution:
a-s Graph. Since the eqns for the segments of the
v-s graph are given, a-s graph can be determined
using a ds = v dv.

Time. The time can be obtained using v-s graph
and v = ds/dt. For the first segment of motion, s = 0

At s = 60 m, t = 8.05 s
