The given data shows the result of a model known as stopping sight distance, used by civil en- gineers to design roadways. This simple model estimates the distance a driver needs in order to stop his or her car, traveling at a certain speed, after detecting a hazard. Plot the data using engineering paper and incorporating the ideas discussed in this chapter.

The displacement of a particle that moves along the x-axis is given by x = (-4 + 3t^2)e^-0.25t, consider x to be in feet and t in seconds. Plot the displacement, velocity, and acceleration for the first 20 seconds of motion and determine, both graphically and by your established equation for acceleration, the time at which acceleration is 0. (If the students find it more comfortable, they may choose to graph using excel or any graphing software, solutions, however, must be done manually).

Show the complete solution and the necessary graphs/diagrams. Use 2 decimal places in the final answer. As part of a department store display, a model train D runs on a slight incline between the store’s up and down escalators. When the train and shoppers pass point A, the train appears to the shopper on the up escalator B to move downward at an angle of 22° with the horizontal, and to a shopper on the down escalator C to move upward at an angle of 23° with the horizontal to travel to the left. Knowing that the speed of the escalators is 3 ft/s, determine the speed (ft/s) of the train.
