Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 15RQ

You are at a red light in your car. The red light turns green, and you take your foot off the brake and step on the gas pedal, without turning the steering wheel. The speedometer changes from 0 to 20 mph in 3 seconds. In those 3 seconds, did the car change velocity? Is that an acceleration? Now, at a constant speed of 20 mph, you make a right turn. Is that an acceleration?

You start out by driving 177 miles north in 4 hours and 44 minutes, and then you stop and park for a while. Finally you drive another 132 miles south in 3 hours and 46 minutes. The average velocity for your entire trip was 4.24 miles per hour to the north. How much time did you spend parked?     4 hours 15 minutes     1 hours 3 minutes     10 hours 37 minutes     2 hours 7 minutes
You start out by driving 152 miles south in 2 hours and 17 minutes, and then you stop and park for a while. Finally you drive another 116 miles north in 4 hours and 55 minutes.
