3. A bee flies in a straight line (a "beeline" as they say). The initial speed of the bee is Vo = 100 cm/s. The acceleration of the bee versus position is given by the graph below. a [cm/s²] 500 0 -250 50 105 145 195 s [cm] a. At what position will the speed of the bee be maximum? Hint: it will be one of the labeled points: 0cm, 50cm, 105cm, 145cm or 195cm. b. What is the speed of the bee at that location? C. What is the speed of the bee after traveling the full 195cm? Hints: you don't need to figure the equations for the four lines to do the integrals, and be careful of the signs.

Problem 5. An object is moving with an initial position of 28m from the origin with an initial velocity of -4m/s and constant acceleration of 8m/s². (1) How fast is the body moving after 2s? (2) What is its position 3s after the start? (3) When will it be 36m from the origin?
Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration at the same time? Give examples
what is the answer for the first qustion?
Describe the difference between someone who is accelerating and someone who is only moving at a constant velocity. A person moving a constant velocity will ‘feel’ how fast they are moving. A person accelerating does not feel the acceleration. A person who is accelerating will ‘feel’ that acceleration, but the person moving at constant velocity will not feel the motion. Both of the above. None of the above.
If the velocity of an object is nonzero, can its acceleration be zero?Give an example if your answer is yes; explain why not if your answer is no.
