CALC A turtle crawls along a straight line, which we will call the x -axis with the positive direction to the right. The equation for the turtle’s position as a function of time is x ( t ) = 50.0 cm + (2.00 cm/s) t − (0.0625 cm/s 2 ) t 2 . (a) Find the turtle’s initial velocity, initial position, and initial acceleration. (b) At what time t is the velocity of the turtle zero? (c) How long after starting does it take the turtle to return to its starting point? (d) At what times t is the turtle a distance of 10.0 cm from its starting point? What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the turtle at each of those times? (e) Sketch graphs of x versus t , υ x versus t , and a x versus t , for the lime interval t = 0 to t = 40 s.

A monitor lizard crawls along a straight line, which we will call the x-axis with the positive
direction to the right. The equation for the monitor lizard's position as a function of time is
x(t) = 50.0 cm + (2.0) : - (0.0625) t²
a.) Find the monitor lizard's initial velocity, initial position and initial acceleration. Where t= 0
b.) At what time t is the velocity of the monitor lizard zero?
You drop an object from rest (initial velocity = 0) from a height of 6.8 metres. What is the final speed of the object as it hits the floor? (Speed is a magnitude and so must be a positive value). Assume the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s2. Give your answer to 2 s.f.
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?
