10. On a particularly busy workday, I might need to drive back and forth between ASUN's Newport and Jonesboro campuses, which are 37 miles apart. It takes me 59 min to make the drive from the Newport campus to the Jonesboro campus. On the return trip from Jonesboro to Newport, I decide to speed by maintaining an average speed that is 10 mi/hr faster than my average speed going from Newport to Jonesboro.
To the nearest minute, how many minutes of travel time would I save by speeding
11. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, which means you accelerate anytime you speed up, slow down, or change.
12. Can something move at a constant speed AND also be accelerating? If so, what would the path taken look like?
13. The acceleration of automobiles is often given in terms of the time it takes to go from 0 mi/h to 60 mi/h. One of the fastest street legal cars, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, goes from 0 to 60 in 2.49 s. To the nearest integer, what is its acceleration in m/s2?
14. A motorboat is moving at 5.0 m/s when it begins to accelerate at 1.0 m/s2. How long does it take for the boat to reach a speed of 24.0 m/s? Record the number in this question and choose the unit in the following question.
