CollegeBoard SAT Physics Study Guide PT1 Q33


33) This problem asks us to find the point where the object is at the greatest distance from its initial position. To do so, we can use the integral(the area under the curve). It is also crucial to remember since we are finding distance we want to use the absolute value.

Where A is area and d is distance

For the d(B) the distance is 2vt, but the d(E) is 0 because we have to subtract the distance 2vt traveled in the opposite direction from the start to point B. Thus, the object is at its furthest distance from start at point B.


Answer: B
