An athlete swims the length L of a pool in a time t1 and makes the return trip to the starting position in a time t2. If she is swimming initially in the positive x-direction, determine her average velocities symbolically for the following. (Assume that time t2 is from the other end of the pool to the starting point. Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

NOTE: USE V, =initial velocity a = acceleration x= distance or displacement V= final velocity t= time 1. The driver of a car traveling at 60 miles /h applies the brakes and the car decelerates at a constant rate. What is the velocity (in mi/h ) of the car 0.8 mi farther along the road if the car reaches this point 1.5 min after the brakes were applied?
A car starts from rest and travels for 6.5 s with a uniform acceleration of +1.7 m/s2. The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of −2.5 m/s2. If the brakes are applied for 2.0 s, determine each of the following. (a) How fast is the car going at the end of the braking period? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m/s (b) How far has the car gone?

The velocity vs. time graph for an object moving along a straight path is shown in the figure below. A function is plotted on a coordinate plane, with the horizontal axis labeled t (s) ranging from 0 to 21 s and the vertical axis labeled v (m/s) ranging from −9 m/s to 9 m/s. The function enters the viewing window at (0, −8) and goes horizontally rightward to the approximate point (5, −8). Then the function curves upward and extends up and right in a straight line to the approximate point (15, 8). The function then curves rightward and goes horizontally rightward to the point (20, 8), where the function ends. (i) Find the average acceleration of this object during the following time intervals.

So, given x(t) we can derive v(t) and a(t) by the differentiation. 1) For example, the displacement of a car moving along the x-axis is x(t)=x0+At2. Assuming A is a postive number, graph x versus t. 2) Now find the equation for the velocity of the car, v(t), by differentiation. 3) Graph v(t) versus t
