direction. Compute it’s:
a). total distance of the car covers in meter?
b). average speed of the car in meter per second
2. The position of an object is given as a function of time by x(t) = 5t2 + 8t +10, where x
is in m and t is in seconds. Find:
a). It’s average velocity at the time interval of t = 0 and t = 4sec
b). the instantaneous velocity at t = 2sec
3. Show that the average speed of the total motion of a body completing a distance S1
moving with a speed V1 and a distance S2 moving with a speed V2 is given by:
𝑆1+𝑆2
Vav = V1V2 ( )
𝑆1𝑉2+𝑆2𝑉1
4. Two trains are traveling along a straight track, one behind the other. The first train is
traveling at 12m/s. The second train, approaching from the rear, is traveling at 20m/s.
When the second train is 200m behind the first, the operator applies the brakes
producing a constant deceleration of 0.20m/s2. Will the trains collide, and if so where
and when?
