The Acela is an electric train on the Washington-New YorkBoston run, carrying passengers at 170 mi/h. A velocity-time graph for the Acela is shown in Figure P2.69. (a) Describe the train's motion in each successive lime interval, (b) Find the trains peak positive acceleration in the motion graphed, (c) Find the trains displacement in miles between t = 0 and t = 200 s.
Parts (a), (b), and (c) of Figure 2.10 represent three graphs of the velocities of different objects moving in straight-line paths as functions of time. The possible accelerations of each object as functions of time are shown in parts (d), (c), and (f). Match each velocity vs. time graph with the acceleration vs. time graph that best describes the motion. Figure 2.10 (Quick Quiz 2.3) Match each velocity vs. time graph to its corresponding acceleration vs. time graph.

The bush baby, a small African mammal, is a remarkable jumper. Although only about 8 inches long, it can jump, from a standing start, straight up to a height of over 7 feet! Use the particle model to draw a motion diagram for a bush baby’s jump, from its start until it reaches its highest point.
The images of trees come from a catalog advertising fast-growing trees. If we mark the position of the top of the tree in the successive years, as shown in the graph in the figure, we obtain a motion diagram much like ones we have seen for other kinds of motion. The motion isn’t steady, of course. In some months the tree grows rapidly; in other months, quite slowly. We can see, though, that the average speed of growth is fairly constant for the first few years. At the end of year 3, a rope is tied to the very top of the tree to steady it. This rope is staked into the ground 15 feet away from the tree. What angle does the rope make with the ground?A. 63° B. 60°C. 30° D. 27°
