Chapter 15.3, Problem 5bTH
In this problem, a Cart moves in various ways on a horizontal track. A coordinate system with the positive x−direction to the right is used to measure each motion. For each motion, one of five different representations is given: a strobe diagram, a velocity versus time graph, a set of instantaneous velocity vectors, a written description, or a pair of arrows representing the directions of the velocity and acceleration.
Give the remaining four representations for each motion. The first exercise has been worked as an example.

How would you solve a problem like this?
A computer system, using a preset coordinate system, begins tracking the motion of a high-speed train. The computer system determines the position of the train in that coordinate system, starting at time t = 0, and models the motion via the equation
z(t) = 111.9 m −((227.6 m s)/(t+3.0 s)
(a) Find an expression for the acceleration of the train as a function of time. .
A particle performs a one-dimensional motion with the position given by the time equation x(t) = 1,3t4 - 2,0t3, where x is given in meters and t is given in seconds. At time t=0, the particle starts its motion at the origin x=0. At what instant (in seconds) does the particle reverse its direction of motion?
At time t=0, a jogger is heading due east with speed v=1.4 m/s. At time t1=3.0s, she is heading 0=42 degrees north of east with speed v1=1.9m/s. What is the magnitude of her average acceleration vector during this time? For the representation, draw a tip-to-tail vector addition diagram relating togetherv0,v1, and delta v.
