Textbook QuestionA car sits on an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for a break in the traffic. Then the driver accelerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 20 m/s(45 mi/h) when it reaches the end of the 120-m-long ramp. (b) How much time does it take the car to travel the length of the ramp?674views1rank

Textbook QuestionA 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/s^2)t^2. (a) Find the turtle's initial velocity, initial position, and initial acceleration.1240views
