Open Question

(II) Figure 2–42 shows the velocity of a train as a function of time.

(a) At what time was its velocity greatest?

Open Question

(II) A sports car accelerates approximately as shown in the velocity–time graph of Fig. 2–43. (The short flat spots in the curve represent manual shifting of the gears.) Estimate the car's average acceleration in

(a) second gear and (b) fourth gear. <IMAGE>

Open Question

(II) Given v(t) = 25 + 18t, where v is in m/s and t is in s, use calculus to determine the total displacement from t₁ = 1.3 s to t₂ = 3.6 s.

Open Question

High-speed motion pictures (3500 frames/second) of a jumping, 210–μg flea yielded the data used to plot the graph in Fig. E2.54. (See 'The Flying Leap of the Flea' by M. Rothschild, Y. Schlein, K. Parker, C. Neville, and S. Sternberg in the November 1973 Scientific American.) This flea was about 2 mm long and jumped at a nearly vertical takeoff angle. Use the graph to answer these questions: (c) Find the flea's acceleration at 0.5 ms, 1.0 ms, and 1.5 ms.
