(b) Determine the acceleration at t = 2.0 s.
SOLUTION
(Use the following as necessary: t and At.)
Knowing that the initial velocity at any time t is v,
xi
(39 – 0.8t2) m/s, find the velocity at any later time t + At:
m/s
Find the change in velocity over the time interval At:
Δν.
m/s
To find the acceleration at any time t, divide this expression by At and take the limit of the result as At approaches zero:
Av

Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your
calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. km
On a national highway in a rural region of Laguna, a car is
traveling at a speed of 20.0 m/s. Is this car exceeding the
speed limit of 60.o km/h?

- Automobile traffic passes a point P on a road of width w feet at anaverage rate of R vehicles per second. Although the arrival of automobilesis irregular, traffic engineers have found that the average waiting time Tuntil there is a gap in traffic of at least t seconds is approximately T = t eRtseconds. A pedestrian walking at a speed of 3.5 ft/s (5.1 miles per hour) requires t = w /3.5 s to cross the road .
