Describe the motion of the object:
(i) from 0.0 s to 4.0 s
(ii) from 4.0 s to 7.0 s
(iii) from 7.0 s to 10.0 s
(a) What is the average acceleration over the interval 0 s to 2.0 s? What is the acceleration from4.0 s to 7.0 s? What is the acceleration from7.0 s to 10.0 s?
(b) State the intervals for when the motion of the object fits the following categories:
(i) Positive velocity and negative acceleration
(ii) Positive velocity and positive acceleration
(iii)Zero acceleration
(c) Describe in your own words how you would find the total distance that the object travled from its starting position.
(e) Calculate both the total distance the object traveled and its position relative to its starting point over the interval 0 s to 10.0 s.

Two cars, C and D travel in the same direction on a long, straight section of highway. During a particular time interval delta t, car D is ahead of car C and is speeding up while car C is slowing down.
1) During the interval delta t, it is observed that car C gains on car D (i.e., the distance between the cars decreases). Explain how this is possible, and give a specific example of such a case.
