From Osaka station, its distance x is given as a function of time t by the equation x(t)=−αt2+βt3 where α=4.35mihr2 and β=13mihr3. Determine: a) The average and instantaneous velocity of the train as it reaches Tokyo in mph. b) The average and instantaneous acceleration of the train as it reaches Tokyo in mihr2

External stimuli are communicated to the brain by means of electrical signals propagating along nerve cells at a speed of approximately 25 m/s. Similarly, electrical messages are sent at the same speed from the brain along nerve cells to the muscles. Reflex actions are controlled by a relatively simple nerve circuit from a muscle to the spine and back to the muscle. Estimate the reflex time for a stimulus at the knee. (Assume that the signal resulting from the stimulus must travel a distance Δs = 1 m.)
