Textbook Question
Chapter 0, Problem 22P
If an object is moving at a constant speed v. then the time the object takes to traverse a distance d is inversely proportional to its speed v. If it takes a car 1 h to travel a distance of 60 mi, how long will it take the car to travel the same distance if it slows down to one-third of its original speed?

An object moves in a straight line according to the law v = t^3 -6t^2+4t, where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. When t = 7.9 secs, how far did the object travel? What is its acceleration of the object after 9.4 seconds?
You normally drive on a freeway between San Diego and Los Angeles at an average speed of 105 km/h, and the trip takes 2 h and 20 mins. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 70 km/h. How much longer does the trip take?
If an object's recorded motion on a number line moved from x = 12m to x = 124m and back to x = 98m and the total time interval of this motion was 10s, what was the object's average velocity?
