Chapter 1, Problem 43GP
Problems 39 through 45 are motion problems similar to those you will learn to solve in Chapter 2. For now, simply interpret the problem by drawing a motion diagram showing the object's position and its velocity vectors. Do not solve these problems or do any mathematics.
39. In a typical greyhound race, a dog accelerates to a speed of 20 m/s over a distance of 30 m. It then maintains this speed. What would be a greyhound's time in the 100 m dash?
