Convert the following speed limits from kilometers per hour (km/h) to meters per second (m/s). Think about the relative magnitude of values as you go from km/h to m/s. You may use Microsoft Excel to solve this problem.
Create a graph that shows the acceleration due to gravity as a function of distance from the earth’s surface. Change the distance from sea level to an altitude of 5000 m. Plot the weight of a person with a mass of 80 kg as a function of distance from the earth’s surface.
The displacement of a particle that moves along the x-axis is given by x = (-4 + 3t^2)e^-0.25t, consider x to be in feet and t in seconds. Plot the displacement, velocity, and acceleration for the first 20 seconds of motion and determine, both graphically and by your established equation for acceleration, the time at which acceleration is 0. (If the students find it more comfortable, they may choose to graph using excel or any graphing software, solutions, however, must be done manually).
