Chapter 2, Problem 13P
Each of the strobe photographs (a), (b), and (c) in Figure P2.13 was taken of a single disk moving toward the right, which we take as the positive direction. Within each photograph the time interval between images is constant. For each photograph, prepare graphs of x versus t, vx versus t, and ax versus t, vertically aligned with their time axes identical, to show the motion of the disk. You will not be able to place numbers other than zero on the axes, but show the correct shapes for the graph lines.

Suppose the caravan of 10 cars begins immediately in front of the first toll booth, travels 20 km to a second toll booth, then another 40 km to a third toll booth, and finally stops immediately after the third tool booth. Thus, they travel a total of 60 km. What is the total end-to-end delay?
Where is the last car in the caravan after one hour? Your answer must include a distance/specific location, and not only a relative direction.
A cat walks in a straight line, which we shall call the x-axis with the positive direction to the right. As an observant physicist, you make measurement of this cat's motion and construct a graph of the feline's velocity as a function of time. What distance (in cm) does the cat move from t=0 to t=7.5s?
A runner is moving at 6m/s when they begin to decelerate at 2m/s2 . How far will they travel until they come to a stop?
How do I solve this? My professor has it worked to where 6m/s is the final velocity and I don't understand why.
