A car travels in a straight line at a constant speed from A to C, passing through B. It is known that it passes A at 12:00, B at 13:00, and C at 15:00. (AB = 50 km, BC = unknown).
a) Choose a time origin and a reference system.
b) Choose an instant ( t_0 ). What is the value of ( x_0 )? Write the equation of motion.
c) Choose another instant ( t_0 ). What is the value of ( x_0 )? Write the equation of motion.
d) Prove, algebraically, that the equations found in b) and c) are equivalent.

for a) for example i can pick a reference frame such that A is the origin of the displacement so A->B->C (positive displacement in this direction)
adapting the graph to the reference frame, is like this
What do you know and what have u tried already?
well
the origin of displacement is A
so if origin of displacement is A
displacement from A to B is 50km
I am confused with the origin of time axis
I am still stuck picking a time origin
lmfao
Is it still unsolved?
ye
