(a) What is your velocity (in miles per hour) at the 50 minute mark of your trip?
(b) What is the total distance (in miles) that you travel during the trip?
(c) Did you travel further during the first 30 minutes or the last 30 minutes of the trip?
(d) Draw a sketch of the total distance traveled (in miles) as a function of time spent on
the road (in minutes) for the first half of the trip only (i.ė. only for values of t with
0 <t< 30).
(e) The road you are driving on has a marker for every 10 miles you drive. You en-
counter the first of these markers after exactly 5 minutes of traveling. When will
you encounter the next marker?
