An object attains a velocity of 5m per second by moving in a straight line with an acceleration which varies uniformly from zero to 2.4m/s^2 in 6 sec. Compute its initial velocity and the change in displacement during the 6 sec interval. Solve by using motions curves and calculus.
A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 91.0 km/h except for a 22.0 min rest stop. If the person's average speed is 73.4 km/h, how much time is spent on the trip and how far does the person travel? 1.8 X Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four- digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. h km

Problem 1: The Tesla Model S P85 electric car accelerates from 0 to 30 mph in 1.4 s, 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 s and 0 to 110 mph in 12.1 s. Estimate how far from the start (in meters) the car is at t=12.1 s. You are given limited information about the motion of the car, so you will need to make some reasonable assumption about how it accelerates. Describe what assumption you used to solve the problem. Problem 2: The Tesla Model S P85 electric car stops from 60 mph over a distance of 118 feet. Find the average deceleration of the car? Express it in multiples of the acceleration due to gravity, g. Compare it to the average acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in problem 1. Which one is greater, by magnitude?
