You walk for 1000 m northwards at a constant velocity of 3 m/s. Then you turn around, and walk with an average velocity of 0.5 m/s due south. From your starting point to your destination, your overall average velocity for the entire trip is 1.2 m/s due north. What is the northward total displacement during the entire trip?
The position coordinate of a particle which is confined to move along a straight
line is given by s= 2t³ - 24t + 6, where s is measured in meters from a convenient
origin and t is in seconds. Determine (a) the time required for the particle to reach
a velocity of 72 m/s from its initial condition at t = 0, (b) the acceleration of the
particle when v= 30 m/s, and (c) the net displacement of the particle during the
interval fromt = 1 s to t = 4 s.
