Usually, Tony travels to Bunbury from Perth city in 2.50 hours. One day he increases his average speed by 12.0 km/h and takes 22.5 minutes less time to reach Bunbury. (a) What was his usual average speed? What was the distance travelled? (b) On the way he stopped at a rail crossing (6.00 m wide) and a train (total length 144m) decelerating at -0.585 ms2 just entered the crossing with a velocity of 13.7 m s¹. Sketch a diagram and find the minimum time for the last carriage of the train to clear the crossing.

1) A race car travels around a circular race track for which the start line and finish line are at the same location. If the race is 888km long and the radius of the track is 1.414km, how many times did the car go around the track? The race takes 2 hours and 45 minutes, what is the race car’s average velocity (in m/s) over the entire race? What is the race car’s average speed (in m/s) over the entire race?
(b) Suppose instead that the true speed of the car as a function of time is described by v(t) = 30√/t (still from t = 0 to t = 4). Sketch a graph of the car's speed vs. time. (c) Since the speed is no longer constant, it is much harder to calculate the distance traveled. But we can still try. Suppose we wanted to calculate how far the car went in the sin minute from 1:00 and 1:01. i. Let's pretend that the car's speed is constant for this single minute. What might be a reasonable approximation for the car's speed, in this scenario? (There is no one single correct answer to this question; make your best estimate.) ii. Under this assumption, approximately how far did the car go during this minute? (Hint: Don't forget that a minute is hours.) 60
