Chapter 2, Problem 3Q
Figure 2-18 shows four paths along which objects move from a starting point to a final point, all in the same time interval. The paths pass over a grid of equally spaced straight lines. Rank the paths according to (a) the average velocity of the objects and (b) the average speed of the objects, greatest first.

Example 2-17 depicts the following scenario with the accompanying figures.
A speeder doing 40.0 mi/h (about 17.9 m/s) in a 25 mi/h zone approaches a parked police car. The instant the speeder passes the police car, the police begin their pursuit. The speeder maintains a constant velocity, and the police car accelerates with a constant acceleration of 3.3
m/s².
Now we will consider some slightly different related scenarios to Example 2-17.

- A train accelerates uniformly from rest at station A to a maximum speed of 72 km/h. The constant maximum speed is maintained for a period of time and the train then decelerates uniformly until it comes to a stop at station B. The distance between the two railway stations is 22 km and the journey takes 20 minutes. If the magnitude of the acceleration is half that of deceleration, by using the graphical method, determine the acceleration, in meters per second per second, and the time, in minutes, during which the train travels at its maximum speed.arrow_forwardA turtle and a rabbit engage in a footrace over a distance of 4.00 km.
