5. Go The data in the following table describe the initial and final posi-tions of a moving car. The elapsed time for each of the three pairs of po-sitions listed in the table is 0.50 s. Review the concept of average velocityin Section 2.2 and then determine the average velocity (magnitude anddirection) for each of the three pairs. Note that the algebraic sign of youranswers will convey the direction.Initial position XoFinal position x(a)+2.0 m+6.0 m(b)+6.0 m+2.0 m(c)-3.0 m+7.0 m

Consider the velocity vs. time graph of a person in an elevator shown in Figure 2.58. Suppose the elevator is initially at rest. It then accelerates for 3 seconds, maintains that velocity for 15 seconds, then decelerates for 5 seconds until it stops. The acceleration for the entire trip is not constant so we cannot use the equations of motion from Motion Equations for Constant Acceleration in One Dimension for the complete trip. (We could, however, use them in the three individual sections where acceleration is a constant.) Sketch graphs of (a) position vs. time and (b) acceleration vs. time for this trip.
Is it possible for velocity to be constant while acceleration is not zero? Explain.
A person lakes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 89.5 km/h, except, for a 22.0-min rest stop. If the persons average speed is 77.8 km/h, (a) how much time is spent on the trip and (b) how far does the person travel?
An object that is thrown straight up falls back to Earth. This is one-dimensional motion. (a) When is its velocity zero? (b) Does its velocity change direction? (c) Does the acceleration clue to gravity have the same sign on the way up as on the way clown?
In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.
A ball is thrown straight up. It passes a 2.00-m-high window 7.50 m off the ground on its path up and takes 0.312 s to go past the window. What was the ball's initial velocity? Hint: First consider only the distance along the window, and solve for the ball's velocity at the bottom of the window. Next, consider only the distance from the ground to the bottom of the window, and solve for the initial velocity using the velocity at the bottom of the window as the final velocity.
Do highway speed limit signs refer to average speeds or to instantaneous speeds? Explain.
What is the speed of the bird in Exercise 2.4?
(a) Explain how you can use the graph of position versus time in Figure 2.54 to describe the change in velocity over time, Identify (b) the time (ta, tb, tc, td, or te) at which the instantaneous velocity is greatest, (c) the time at which it is zero, and (d) the time at which it is negative,
Is it possible for velocity to be constant while acceleration is not zero? Explain.
How are instantaneous velocity and instantaneous speed related to one another? How do they differ?
A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water? To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now a known and identify its value. Then identity the unknown, and discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (c) How long is the dolphin in the air? Neglect any effects due to his size or orientation.
