squirrel runs along the edge of a fence. The graph of the squirrel's velocity $v(t)$, in /sec, is shown below. (a) (4 points) Find the squirrel's displacement at the end of the 10 seconds. (b) (3 points) Find the total distance traveled by the squirrel over these 10 seconds.

10. A skittish squirrel is climbing vertically on a tree. Its motion is shown on the following graph of vertical position y vs. time t. What is the instantaneous speed of the squirrel at time t=2s? y(m) t(s) -1.0 m/s -2.0 m/s 1.0 m/s 2.0 m/s

A squirrel falls from a very tall tree. Initially (at $t=0$ ), the squirrel is at the top of the tree, a distance $y=50$ m above the ground. At $t=1.0 \mathrm{s}$, the squirrel is at $y=45 \mathrm{m},$ and at $t=2.0 \mathrm{s}$ it is at $y=30 \mathrm{m} .$ Estimate the average velocity of the squirrel during the intervals from $t=0.0 \mathrm{s}$ to $t=1.0 \mathrm{s}$ and from $t=1.0 \mathrm{s}$ to $t=2.0 \mathrm{s}$. Use these results to estimate the average acceleration of the squirrel during this time. (No squirrels were harmed during the writing of this problem.)
