A deer is running east to west on a straight line. It runs (a) at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s for the first 24 sec, (b) at a reduced speed (also constant) of 0.6 m/s for the next 15 sec, (c) sprints at a constant speed of 3.1 m/s for the next 1 minute and 40 seconds. Compute the total distance covered and the average speed in mph.
A particle's position on the x axis of Fig. 2-1 is given byx = 4 - 27t + t3,with x in meters and t in seconds.(a) Because position x depends on time t, the particle must be moving. Find the particle's velocity function v(t) and acceleration function a(t).(b) Is

Figure 2-42 shows a simple device for measuring your reaction time. It consists of a cardboard strip marked with a scale and two large dots. A friend holds the strip vertically, with thumb and forefinger at the dot on the right in Fig. 2-42. You then position your thumb and forefinger at the other dot (on the left in Fig. 2-42), being careful not to touch the strip. Your friend releases the strip, and you try to pinch it as soon as possible after you see it begin to fall. The mark at the place where you pinch the strip gives your reaction time. (a) How far from the lower dot should you place the 50.0 ms mark? How much higher should you place the marks for (b) 100, (c) 150, (d) 200, and (e) 250 ms? (For example, should the 100 ms marker be 2 times as far from the dot as the 50 ms marker? If so, give an answer of 2 times. Can you find any pattern in the answers?)
