Chapter 2, Problem 2.13DQ
The official’s truck in Fig. 2.2 is at x1 = 277 m at t1 = 16.0 s and is at x2 = 19 m at t2 = 25.0 s. (a) Sketch two different possible x-t graphs for the motion of the truck. (b) Does the average velocity υav−x during the time interval from t1 to t2 have the same value for both of your graphs? Why or why not?

The displacement of a particle is given by s = 2t³ - 42t² + 120t - 68 where s is in feet and t is in seconds. Plot the displacement, velocity,
and acceleration as functions of time for the first 16 seconds of motion. After you have made the plots, answer the questions.

A motor car is moving with initial velocity in the x-direction at 30 m/s. After 30 s, the car applies its brakes steadily to slow down the car to a velocity of 10 m/s in 12 s. The continues onward for 10 s more. How far in m did the car travel for the full 52 s? Report your answer to three sig figs, you don't need to write "m".
HINT: Break up the problem into three stages - 30s, 12s, and the final 10s. During the 12 s, you'll need the acceleration.
the motion of the particle is described by the equation x(t)=at^3-bt^2. where a is 3.36 in m/s^3 and b is 2.84 in m/s^2. find the instantaneous velocity in m/s of the particle from time t 5.93s.
Express your answer rounded off to two decimal places. Do not include the unit.
