A Car Is Stopped at A Traffic Light
a. Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 10.0 s.
b. Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t=0 and t = 10.0 s.
c. How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?
6. You are operating a radio-controlled model car on a vacant tennis court. Your
position is the origin of coordinates, and the surface of the court lies in the -plane. The
car, which we represent as a point, has x- and y-coordinates that vary with time
according to
a. Find the car’s coordinates and its distance from you at time t = 2.0 s.
b. Find the car’s displacement and average velocity vectors during the interval from
t = 0 s to t = 2.0 s.
c. Find the components of the average acceleration in the interval from t = 0 s to t =
2.0 s.
