A turtle crawls along a straight line, which we will call the $x$-axis with the positive direction to the right. The equation for the turtle's position as a function of time is $x(t) = 50.0$ cm + ($2.00$ cm/s)$$$t$ − ($0.0625$ cm/s²)$t^2$. Sketch graphs of $x$ versus $t$, $v_x$ versus $t$, and $a_x$ versus $t$, for the time interval $t=0$ to $t=40$ s.

A car's velocity as a function of time is given by$v_x(t) = α + βt^2$, where $α = 3.00$ m/s and $β = 0.100$ m/s³. Draw $v_x$-$t$ and $a_x$-$t$ graphs for the car's motion between $t=0$ and $t=5.00$ s.

An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter. Her partner measures the following velocity changes, each taking place in a $10$-s interval. What are the magnitude, the algebraic sign, and the direction of the average acceleration in each interval? Assume that the positive direction is to the right.

(a) At the beginning of the interval, the astronaut is moving toward the right along the $x$-axis at $15.0$ m/s, and at the end of the interval she is moving toward the right at $5.0$ m/s.

(b) At the beginning she is moving toward the left at $5.0$ m/s, and at the end she is moving toward the left at $15.0$ m/s.

(c) At the beginning she is moving toward the right at $15.0$ m/s, and at the end she is moving toward the left at $15.0$ m/s.

A race car starts from rest and travels east along a straight and level track. For the first $5.0$ s of the car's motion, the eastward component of the car's velocity is given by $v_x\left(t\right)=$ ($0.860$ m/s³)t². What is the acceleration of the car when $v_x=12.0$ m/s?

A turtle crawls along a straight line, which we will call the $x$-axis with the positive direction to the right. The equation for the turtle's position as a function of time is $x(t) = 50.0$ cm + ($2.00$ cm/s)$$$t$ − ($0.0625$ cm/s²)$t^2$. At what time $t$ is the velocity of the turtle zero?

A car's velocity as a function of time is given by$v_x\left(t\right)=\alpha +\beta t^2$, where $\alpha =3.00$ m/s and $\beta =0.100$ m/s³. Calculate the average acceleration for the time interval $t=0$ to $t=5.00$ s.

A turtle crawls along a straight line, which we will call the $x$-axis with the positive direction to the right. The equation for the turtle's position as a function of time is $x\left(t\right)=50.0$ cm + ($2.00$ cm/s)$$$t$ − ($0.0625$ cm/s²)$t^2$. Find the turtle's initial velocity, initial position, and initial acceleration.
