Valentina, the Russian Cosmonaut, goes outside her ship for a spacewalk, but when she is floating 15 m from the ship, her tether catches on a sharp piece of metal and is severed. Valentina tosses her 2.0-kg camera away from the spaceship with a speed of 12 m/s. a) How fast will Valentina, whose mass is now 68 kg, travel toward the spaceship? b) Assuming the spaceship remains at rest with respect to Valentina, how long will it take her to reach the ship?

B

Explanation:

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
