A motorcycle starts from rest when t = 0 and travels along a straight road at a constant velocity of 7.0 ft/s² until it reaches a speed of 60 ft/s. Then it maintains this speed. Also, when t = 0, a car located 6000 ft from the motorcycle is traveling toward the motorcycle at a constant speed of 40 ft/s. Determine the time when they intersect.
Bartholomew jogs from home at 3.50 m/s north for 1380 seconds. Then, he turns around and jogs 2.40 m/s east for 875 seconds.
A) Assuming an original position of zero, where is Bartholomew now?
B) What is his average velocity?
C) If a third part of his jog returns him home in 985 seconds, what should his velocity be on this part?
You get in your car and drive north, accelerating up to 60mph. Draw your velocity vector and acceleration vector some time during your acceleration. How would these change if you encountered traffic and started to brake?
