A particle moves along the x axis. Its position is given by the equation x = 2 + 3t 4t2, with x in meters and t in seconds. Determine (a) its position when it changes direction and (b) its velocity when it returns to the position it had at t = 0.
A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval t between two stations by accelerating at a rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 for a time interval t1 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = 0.500 m/s2 for a time interval t2. Find the minimum time interval of travel t and the time interval t1.
