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

When the button of a trash compactor is pushed, a force of \( 350 \) \( \text{N} \) pushes down on a \( 1.3 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \) input piston, creating a force of \( 22,076 \) \( \text{N} \) to crush the trash. What is the area of the piston that crushes the trash?

A mechanic pushes a [katex]2500 \, \text{kg}[/katex] car from rest to a final speed [katex]v[/katex] by doing [katex]5.0 \times 10^3 \, \text{J}[/katex] of work on the car. Frictional effect between the car and the ground are negligible. What is the final speed of the car?

Gregory was walking through the halls of the school when he realized that he was walking in perpendicular directions and he could easily calculate his displacement using the incredibly useful techniques he learned in physics. He recognized that he walked \(12.5\ \text{m}\) left and then \(18.9\ \text{m}\) down. How far must he walk to the right so that his resultant displacement is \(20.1\ \text{m}\)?

A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 21 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional force acts on the tires. Suddenly a wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one-third its dry road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car?

A \( 6.00 \, \text{m} \) long, \( 500 \, \text{kg} \) steel uniform beam extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new building under construction. A \( 70 \, \text{kg} \) construction worker stands at the far end of the beam. What is the magnitude of the torque about the bolt due to the worker and the weight of the beam?

A skater glides across the ice at a constant \( 6 \) \( \text{m/s} \). After \( 4 \) \( \text{s} \), friction gradually slows them down until they come to rest in \( 6 \) \( \text{s} \). They pause for \( 2 \) \( \text{s} \), then push off in the opposite direction, steadily gaining speed for \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \). Draw the velocity vs. time graph.
