| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \( v_i = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) | The car starts from rest, so the initial velocity is zero. |
| 2 | \( a_1 = 4.3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) | The car accelerates with an acceleration of \(4.3 \, \text{m/s}^2\). |
| 3 | \( t_1 = 6.8 \, \text{s} \) | The car accelerates for a time of \(6.8 \, \text{s}\). |
| 4 | \( v_x = v_i + a_1 t_1 \) | Use the formula for final velocity after a time interval, where \( v_i \) is the initial velocity, \( a_1 \) is the acceleration, and \( t_1 \) is the time. |
| 5 | \( v_x = 0 + (4.3 \, \text{m/s}^2)(6.8 \, \text{s}) \) | Plug in the values for the initial velocity, acceleration, and time. |
| 6 | \( v_x = 29.24 \, \text{m/s} \) | Calculate the final velocity after the acceleration phase. |
| 7 | \( d_1 = v_i t_1 + \frac{1}{2} a_1 t_1^2 \) | Use the formula for distance traveled during the acceleration phase, where \( v_i \) is the initial velocity, \( a_1 \) is the acceleration, and \( t_1 \) is the time. |
| 8 | \( d_1 = 0 \cdot 6.8 + \frac{1}{2} (4.3) (6.8)^2 \) | Set initial velocity term to zero and plug in the values for acceleration and time. |
| 9 | \( d_1 = 99.292 \, \text{m} \) | Calculate the distance traveled during the acceleration phase. |
| 10 | \( a_2 = -5.1 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) | The car decelerates with an acceleration of \( -5.1 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (since the car is slowing down). |
| 11 | \( v_{x2} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) | Final velocity when the car comes to rest again. |
| 12 | \( v_x^2 = v_i^2 + 2 a_2 \Delta x_2 \) | Use the kinematic equation relating initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and distance traveled. |
| 13 | \( 0 = (29.24)^2 + 2(-5.1) \Delta x_2 \) | Plug in the values for initial velocity during deceleration, final velocity, and acceleration. |
| 14 | \( 0 = 855.2976 – 10.2 \Delta x_2 \) | Calculate the term \( (29.24)^2 \) and simplify the equation. |
| 15 | \( \Delta x_2 = \frac{855.2976}{10.2} \) | Rearrange the equation to solve for the distance traveled during deceleration \( \Delta x_2 \). |
| 16 | \( \Delta x_2 = 83.95 \, \text{m} \) | Calculate the distance traveled during the deceleration phase. |
| 17 | \( d_{\text{total}} = d_1 + \Delta x_2 \) | Sum the distances traveled during the acceleration phase and deceleration phase to find the total distance. |
| 18 | \( d_{\text{total}} = 99.292 + 83.95 \) | Plug in the values for the distances calculated in both phases. |
| 19 | \( d_{\text{total}} = 183.242 \, \text{m} \) | Calculate the total distance traveled by the car and box the final answer. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
Which of the following statements about the acceleration due to gravity is TRUE?
A body moving in the positive \( x \) direction passes the origin at time \( t = 0 \). Between \( t = 0 \) and \( t = 1 \, \text{second} \), the body has a constant speed of \( 24 \, \text{m/s} \). At \( t = 1 \, \text{second} \), the body is given a constant acceleration of \( 6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) in the negative \( x \) direction. The position \( x \) of the body at \( t = 11 \, \text{seconds} \) is
A cart is initially moving at 0.5 m/s along a track. The cart comes to rest after traveling 1 m. The experiment is repeated on the same track, but now the cart is initially moving at 1 m/s. How far does the cart travel before coming to rest?
Can an object’s average velocity equal zero when object’s speed is greater than zero? Explain using the formula for average velocity vs speed.

Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
