At time t=0, a body has a velocity of 5 meters per second, EASTWARD; at time t=2 seconds, its velocity is 7 meters per second WESTWARD. What is the MAGNITUDE of the body's average acceleration?
Accelerating uniformly at 2.4 m/s2, an object starts with an initial velocity v = 2 m/s to a final velocity of 8 m/s, traveling along the same direction. How far will the object travel during this time?
A westbound car on the PA turnpike passes the exit for the northeast extension traveling at 16.2 m/s. If the car experiences a constant eastward acceleration of 2.13 m/s2, give the car's velocity after 3.36 s. Answer in m/s, using a coordinate system in which positive is toward the east.
