(4.2.95) At time t = 0, a car begins to accelerate at 3.0 m/s². After 4.0s of motion, the car stops accelerating and continues at constant velocity for an addition 4.0s. Then, the car brakes, decelerating at 6.0 m/s² until it comes to rest. (a) Calculate the position of the car at one second intervals, starting at t = 0, then t = 1s, 2s, and so forth, for the entire time the car is in motion. You do not need to show your calculations for this part. A table will suffice. (b) Calculate the velocity of the car at t= 0, t = 4.0s, t = 8.0s, and the stopping time. (c) On a single graph, plot the position, velocity, and acceleration of the car as a functions of time. The plot should include all data calculated in parts (a) and (b) of the problem. The rest you can sketch in.

Consider a stock car, which starts from rest at time t=0 with velocity in m/s increasing for 9.5 s according to the function vx = (1.4) t2 + (1.1) t Find the car's velocity at the end of the 9.5 s interval. Give your answer in m/s.
A particle's position as a function of time is given by r(t) = 6 t3 i - 13 t2 j (m). Calculate the speed of the particle at t = 2 s. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
Cities A and B are connected by a straight road of total length 200 miles.Two cars depart cities A and B at the same time, moving towards each other. The A-car travels at 60 miles per hour, and the B-car at 40 mph. At the same time, a fly starts off from the front bumper of the A-car flying at 100 mph. It flies towards city B until it touches the bumper of the B-car, and then flies back, touches the A-car, flies back, etc, until the cars collide and the fly is squashed. The standard trick question is - what is the total distance traveled by the fly? At first sight one would think that the problem should be solved by the series summation, but that’s not necessary - the cars meet after 2 hours, and during that time the fly traveling at 100 mph covers exactly 200 miles. Now that you know the answer, solve this problem using the series summation [1].
An engineer is testing how quickly a car accelerates from rest. The velocity V is measured in miles per hour, as a function of time t, in seconds, since the car is at rest. See the table below. What is the slope for the linear function modeling velocity as a function of time, V=, and what would the formula be for the velocity at time 0, V(0) Time (t) Velocity (V) 2.0 28.9 2.5 35.0 3.0 41.1 3.5 47.2
A runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.1250.125 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.04500.0450 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path but does measure the total round-trip time to be 50.050.0 min. How far did she run? (Do not include walking distance.)
The Empire State building in New York City is 381 m tall. If a penny were dropped from rest at the height, how many seconds would it take to strike the street below? Air resistance would make a significant difference in the real world case, but ignore air resistance for now.
Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this please
A boxer's fist and glove have a mass of m = 1.04 kg. The boxer's fist can obtain a speed of v = 9.25 m/s in a time of t = 0.21 s. Write a symbolic expression for the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, of the boxer's fist, in terms of the variables provided. Find the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, in meters per square second. Write an expression for the magnitude of the average net force, Fb, that the boxer must apply to his fist to achieve the given velocity. (Write the expression in terms of m, v and t.) What is the numerical value of Fb, in newtons?
A bicyclist is practicing to increase his endurance for a one-hour trip. He has an average speed of 30 m/s in the first 30 min. If the cyclist wants an average speed of 40 m/s for the entire trip, by how much does he need to increase his average speed in the last 30 minutes?
