#1) Imagine it has recently snowed significantly in Huntington, WV. The driver of a snow plow headingEast pulls off into an emergency turn around on 1-64 so that he can turn around and plow the westwardmoving side of the interstate. The snow plow driver patiently waits for a break in the traffic until hecan merge into the westward moving traffic. In order to successfully merge with constant acceleration,the snow plow starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 19.0 m/s when it reachesthe end of the merge lane, which has a total length of 121 m. Report answers to 3 sig figs. ECANSUA) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the snow plow?B) How much time does it take the snow plow to travel the full length of the merging lane?C) The traffic on 1-64 is moving at a constant speed of 19.0 m/s. What distance does the traffic travelwhile the snow plow is moving the length of the merging lane?

A scooter begins at rest at t0=0 seconds. The scooters starts moving, and eventually covers a distance d= 651m, in a time tf= 104 seconds. In a coordinate system with north being the positive x-direction, the scooter's motion is in the northern direction. What wa the scooter's average speed, during this time period, in meters per second? What was the scooters displacement in the northern direction during this person, in meters? What was the scooter's average velocity in the northern direction, in this period in meters per second? If the scooter's final velocity at tf was 12 m/s, what was the scooter's average acceleration in the northern direction, during this period in m/s%^2?
You get in your car and drive north, accelerating up to 60mph. Draw your velocity vector and acceleration vector some time during your acceleration. How would these change if you encountered traffic and started to brake?
