Compute your average velocity in the following two cases

(a) You walk 73.2 m at a speed of 1.22 m s-1 and run 73.2 m at a speed of 2.85 m s-1 along a straight track.

(b) You walk for 1.00 min at a speed of 1.22 m s-1 and then run for 1.00 min at 3.05 m s-1 along a straight track.

(c) Graph x versus t for both the cases and indicate how the average velocity is found on the graph.

Rachel walks on a straight road from her home to a gymnasium 2.80 km away with a speed of 6.00 km h-1. As soon as she reaches the gymnasium, she immediately turns and walks back home with a speed of 7.70 km h-1 as she finds the gymnasium closed. What are the (a) magnitude of average velocity and (b) average speed of Rachel over the interval of time 0.00-35.0 min?

The position of an object moving along an xaxis is given by x=3t-4t2+t3, where x is in meters and t in seconds.

Find the position of the object at the following values of t,

a 1 s b 2 s c 3 s and d 4 s.

(e) What is the object’s displacement between t=0 and t=4 s?

(f) What is its average velocity for the time interval from t=2 s to t=4 s?

(g) Graph x versus t for 0t4 s and indicate how the answer for (f) can be found on the graph.

The 1992, the world speed record for a bicycle (human-powered vehicle) was set by Chris Huber. His time through the measured 200 m stretch was a sizzling 6.509 s at which he commented, “Cogito ergo zoom!” (I think, therefore I go fast!). In 2001, Sam Whittingham beat Huber’s record by 19.0 km h-1. What was Whittingham’s time through the 200 m?

A pigeon flies at 36 km h-1 to and from between two cars moving towards each other on a straight road, starting from the first car when the car separation is 40 km. The first car has a speed of 16 km h-1 and the second one has a speed of 25 km h-1. By the time the cars meet head-on, what are the

(b) net displacement is flown by the pigeon?

Panic escape. The figure shows a general situation in which a stream of people attempts to escape through an exit door that turns out to be locked. The people move towards the door at speed vs=3.50 m s-1 are each d=0.25 m depth and are separated by L=1.75 m. The arrangement in figure occurs at time t=0(a) At what average rate does the layer of people at the door increase? (b) At what time does the layer’s depth reach 5.0 m? (The answers reveal how quickly such a situation becomes dangerous.)

In 1 km races runner 1 on track 1 (with time 2 min27.95 s) appears to be faster than runner 2 on track 2 (2 min28.15 s). However, the length L2 of track 2 might be slightly greater than length L1 of track 1. How large can L2-L1 be for us still to conclude that runner 1 is faster?
