use the Y axis to represent distance and the X axis to represent time. Four race cars are heading for the finish line. Car 11 is in the lead and has 1.2 miles to go. But he has engine trouble and is only traveling at a speed of 130 mph. How long before car 11 crosses the finish line (where distance remaining = 0). Car 32 is in second and is .1 miles behind Car 11 (he has 1.3 miles to go). He is traveling at a speed of 140 mph. Add that line to your graph. Car 53 is in third and is .3 miles behind the leader (1.5 miles to go). He is traveling at a speed of 165 mph. Car 94 is in last place, and is .5 miles behind the leader (1.8 miles to go).

4) The time a basketball player spends in the air when shooting a basket is called the "hang time." The vertical leap L measured in feet is related to the hang time t measured in seconds by the equation L=4t2. Suppose that a basketball player has a vertical leap of 3 feet 7 inches. Find the hang time for this leap.
If an object is shot upward with an initial velocity, vo, in feet per second (ft/s), the velocity, v, in ft/s is given by the formula v = vo - 32t, where t is time in seconds. Find the initial velocity of an object if the velocity after 4 seconds is 20 ft/s.
