Chapter 2, Problem 2.81P
CALC An object is moving along the x-axis. At t = 0 it has velocity υ0x = 20.0 m/s. Starting at time t = 0 it has acceleration ax = −Ct, where C has units of m/s3. (a) What is the value of C if the object stops in 8.00 s after t = 0? (b) For the value of C calculated in part (a), how far does the object travel during the 8.00 s?

At an air show, a jet plane has velocity components vx= 695km/h and v y =415km/h at time 4.35 s and v x =938km/h and V y =365km/h at time 7.52s.
A)For this time interval, find the xxx component of the plane's average acceleration.
b)For this time interval, find the yyy component of the plane's average acceleration.
C)For this time interval, find the magnitude of its average acceleration.
D)For this time interval, find the direction of its average acceleration.
An object’s position is given by x = bt + ct3 , x in meters, t in seconds, b = 1.50 m/s and c = 0.640 m/s3 . To study the limiting process leading to the instantaneous velocity, calculate the object’s average velocity over time intervals from (a) 1.00 s to 3.00 s, (b) 1.50 s to 2.50 s, and (c) 1.95 s to 2.05 s. (d) Find the instantaneous velocity as a function of time by differentiating, and compare its value at 2.00 s with your average velocities.
At t=0 an object starts from the origin and moves with a constant acceleration of a→=(−3.2i−2.7j)m/s2 on a horizontal surface. If the initial velocity of the object is vo→=(14.1i−18.3j)m/s, determine the magnitude of velocity at t=2.1s. Express your answer in units of m/sm/s using zero decimal places.
