2. Ram is speeding along a highway when he sees a police motorbike parked on
the side of the road right next to him. He immediately starts slowing down,
but the police motorbike accelerates to catch up with him. It is assumed that
the two vehicles are going in the same direction in parallel paths.
The distance that Ram has traveled in meters t seconds after he starts to
slow down is given by d (t) = 150 + 75t – 1.2t². The distance that the police
motorbike travels can be modeled by the equation d (t) = 4t². How long will
it take for the police motorbike to catch up to Ram?

A uniform chain of length 8 feet is held vertically so that the lower end just touches the floor. The chain weighs 2 lb/ft. The upper end that is held is released from rest at t= 0 and the chain falls
straight down. If x(t) denotes the length of the chain on the floor at time t (in seconds), air resistance is ignored, and the positive direction is taken to be downward, then we have the following.
(Take the acceleration of gravity to be 32 ft/s.)

(a) Let v be the chain's velocity
ft/s. Solve for v in terms of x. Solve for x in terms of t. Express v in terms of t.
v(x) =
ft/s
x(t) =
ft
v(t) =

(b) Determine how long it takes for the chain to fall completely to the ground.
(c) What velocity (in ft/s) does the model in part (a) predict for the upper end of the chain as it hits the ground?
