Chapter 2: Problem 113
In heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at \(12 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) for \(1.5 \mathrm{~min}\), then you have to stop for \(3.5 \mathrm{~min}\), and finally you drive at \(15 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) for another \(2.5 \mathrm{~min}\). (a) Plot a position-time graph for this motion. Your graph should extend from \(t=0\) to \(t=7.5 \mathrm{~min}\). (b) Use your graph from part (a) to calculate the average velocity between \(t=0\) and \(t=7.5 \mathrm{~min}\).
