A jeep drives a distance d = 27 m in the positive x-direction in a time of t1 = 22.5 s. The jeep immediately brakes and comes to rest in t2 = 9 s.
Randomized Variables
d = 24.5 m
t1 = 19.5 s
t2 = 6 s
a. What was the jeep's average velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, during t1?
b. What was the acceleration, in meters per second, squared, during time interval t1, assuming the jeep started from rest and moved with constant acceleration?
c. What was the jeep's instantaneous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking?
d. Using the result from part (c), what was the jeep's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per second squared, during the braking period?
