Endpoints of a motion and center of motion (1 Viewer)

[housemouse]

How do you find
* the endpoints of motion
*center of motion
for any graph?

 

[Templar]

What type of motion graph is it? Simple harmonic motion?

 

[vojnik]

v=0 to find the endpoints of displacement. For this you need v=f(x) so you need to use the speciel result ( a=0.5v^2).
Centre of motion is simply the two endpoints, divide by 2, so (x1+x2)/2

I think the centre of motion would be when the particle has a displacement of 0, so you would let x=0 to find the time(s) that this occurs. Correct me if I'm wrong.
