A tomato plant given ounces of fertilizer will successfully bear pounds of tomatoes in a growing season.
(a) In real-world terms, what does represent and what are its units? What does represent and what are its units?
(b) A study has shown that this fertilizer encourages tomato production when less than ounces are used, but inhibits production when more than ounces are used. When is positive and when is negative? When is positive and when is negative?
If Katie walked at miles per hour for minutes and then sprinted at miles an hour for minutes, how fast would Dave have to walk or run to go the same distance as Katie did at the same time while moving at a constant speed? Sketch a graph of Katie’s position over time and a graph of Dave’s position over time on the same set of axes.
Last night Phil went jogging along Main Street. His distance from the post office t minutes after p.m. is shown in the preceding graph at the right.
(a) Give a narrative (that matches the graph) of what Phil did on his jog.
(b) Sketch a graph that represents Phil’s instantaneous velocity t minutes after p.m. Make sure you label the tick marks on the vertical axis as accurately as you can.
(c) When was Phil jogging the fastest? The slowest? When was he the farthest away from the post office? The closest to the post office?
