- A red Mazda Miata (type of car) accelerates from rest at a rate of a₁ in the positive x direction for a total of 20.0 seconds. The Mazda then holds their speed and direction constant for a 20.0 additional seconds. Finally, while continuing in the positive x direction, the Mazda slows down at a rate of a2 until the car stops moving. We want to determine the total distance traveled by the Mazda and the average speed of the car if we know a₁ and ₂. (A) Sketch a graph of velocity versus time for this short trip. Label the time axis to indicate which portions of the curve(s) correspond to the above intervals. Identify and write knowns and unknowns (B) Without using numerical values, determine which physics equations of motion will help solve this problem. Simplify as useful for this particular case. (C) If a₁ = 2.0 m/s² and a₂ = -3.0 m/s² determine the total distance traveled during all intervals and the average velocity of the Mazda.arrow_forwardWhat are these graphs acceleration direction (-x,-y,+x,+y-axis)? and displacement?arrow_forwardA westward moving bicycle increases its speed from 2.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s in 4.0 seconds.
