Question
1. A body moves along the x-axis. Its position is expressed in the given equation with
respect to time: x = -4t + 2t. With the given time intervals of t = 0 to t = 1 s and t = 1 s to t =
3 s, find the body's a) displacement b) average velocity and c) instantaneous velocity at t =
2.5 s.
2. A military jet lands on an aircraft carrier at a speed of 160 miles per hour. The aircraft
carrier uses an arresting cable to decelerate the aircraft. a) Determine the constant
acceleration at t = 2 s when it came to rest. b) At X¡ = 0 the jet touches down, what is the final
position of the jet plane.
3. Two stones are hurled vertically from the ground, one with three times the initial velocity of
the other. (a) If the faster stone takes 10 s to return to the ground, how long will it take for the
slower stone to return? (b) How high is the faster stone going to be, if the slower stone
reaches a maximum height of H? Suppose a free fall.
