Calculate the total distance traveled by the car and the average speed of the car. Plot the acceleration of car as a function of time.

Answer to Problem 28P
The total distance traveled by car is
Explanation of Solution
Refer to the figure Problem 8.28 in the textbook for the speed versus time characteristics of the car.
During the initial 20 seconds, the speed of the car increases linearly from a value of zero to 60 mph. Therefore, the average speed of the car is 30 mph during this period. The distance traveled during this period is,
During the next 20 minutes the car moves with a constant speed of 60 mph and the distance traveled during this period is,
Because the car decelerates at a constant rate from a speed of 60 mph to 0 mph, the average speed of the car during the last 10 seconds is also 30 mph, and the distance traveled during this period is,
The total distance traveled is
Substitute 880 feet for
Give the expression for average speed of the car for the entire duration of travel as below.
Substitute
To plot the acceleration of car as a function of time, calculate the acceleration during the first 20 seconds, the next 20 minutes, and the last 10 seconds.
Calculate the acceleration of the car during the initial 20 seconds as below.
Note during this 20 seconds period, the speed of car changes from 0 to
During the next 20 minutes, the car moves with constant speed of 60 mph. Therefore, the acceleration is zero.
Show the plot of acceleration versus time as in Figure 1.
Conclusion:
Thus, the total distance traveled by car is

In a water flood operation in reservoir A, water is being distributed to severalinjection wells from a common injection system; that is, water is supplied to all thewells at approximately the same well head pressure. Routine measurement of theindividual well injection rates by the team of field operators showed that one well wasreceiving approximately 45% more than its neighbours. The sum of the kh productsfor all of the injection wells were approximately the same depth.
