Example 11: A Bicycle Trip
A bicyclist maintains a constant velocity on the outgoing leg of a trip, zero velocity while stopped, and another constant velocity on the way back. Figure 2.19 shows the corresponding position-time graph. Using the time and position intervals indicated in the drawing, obtain the velocities for each segment of the trip.
Figure 2.19 This position-time graph consists of three straight-line segments, each corresponding to a different constant velocity.
Example 12: Jet Car
Find the average velocity of the car whose position is graphed in Figure 2.47.
