Chapter 2, Problem 25P
|| A little cat, Bella, walks along a straight line, which we shall call the x axis, with the positive direction to the right. As an observant scientist, you make measurements of her motion and construct a graph of the little feline’s velocity as a function of time. (See Figure 2.53) (a) Find Bella’s velocity at t = 4.0 s and t = 7.0 s. (b) What is her acceleration at t = 3.0 s? at t = 6.0 s? at t = 7.0 s? (c) Sketch a clear graph of Bella’s acceleration as a function of time.

I need answer asap. Tysm!
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 6.8 m/s2 which decreases linearly with time to zero in 9.1 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 360 m from the start.
Consider an object moving along a line with the given velocity v. Assume time t is measured in secondsand velocities have units of m/s.a. Determine when the motion is in the positive direction and when it is in the negative direction.b. Find the displacement over the given interval.c. Find the distance traveled over the given interval.v(t) = 50e-2t on [0, 4]
| A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its
acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the
sprint of a gazelle assumes an acceleration of 4.2 m/s² for 6.5 s,
after which the gazelle continues at a steady speed.
a. What is the gazelle's top speed?
b. A human would win a very short race with a gazelle. The
best time for a 30 m sprint for a human runner is 3.6 s. How
much time would the gazelle take for a 30 m race?
c. A gazelle would win a longer race. The best time for a 200 m
sprint for a human runner is 19.3 s. How much time would
the gazelle take for a 200 m race?
