Write your answers on the back of this page. \( (2 \) items \( \times 10 \) points \( ) \) Scenario: A family drove home after visiting the father's family. From their relatives' home in Sendai, the car left for Tokyo, where they live. The graph below shows the car's travel. Car Travel from Sendai to T?ky? 1. Compute for the car's velocity (in \( \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \) ) and acceleration (in \( \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) ) between one (1) and four (4) hours of travel. 2. Create a time-velocity graph for the car based from the given graph above.

Step 1
To compute for the car's velocity, we need to know the distance travelled and the time it took to travel that distance. However, without the graph, we cannot determine the exact distance travelled. In general, velocity is calculated by dividing the distance Show more…

Iwo cars drive on a straight highway. At time $t=0,$ car 1 passes mile marker 0 traveling due east with a speed of 20.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .$ At the same time, car 2 is 1.0 km east of mile marker 0 traveling at 30.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ due west. Car 1 is speeding up with an acceleration of magnitude $2.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2},$ and $\operatorname{car} 2$ is slowing down with an acceleration of mag- nitude 3.2 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ . (a) Write $x$ -versus-t equations of motion for both cars, taking east as the positive direction. (b) At what time do the cars pass next to one another?
Suppose a car is traveling along a straight highway. At time t = 0, this car is located at s = 0 with an initial velocity of 9 ft/s. The position function s = f(t) of the car after t seconds is given by f(t) = t^3 - 6t^2 + 9t, t ≥ 0. (a) Find the velocity and acceleration after t seconds. (b) For what values of t > 0 does the car stop? (c) For what values of t > 0 does the car come back to the original position (s = 0)? What is the velocity at that moment? (d) Draw the position s(t) vs time graph and the velocity v(t) vs time graph. (e) Draw the speed |v(t)| vs time graph. (f) On what intervals is the speed increasing?
