(a) A world record was set for the men鈥檚 100 mdash in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing by Usain Bolt of Jamaica. Bolt 鈥渃oasted鈥 across the finish line with a time of . If we assume that Bolt accelerated for3.00 sto reach his maximum speed, and maintained that speed for the rest of the race, calculate his maximum speed and his acceleration.
(b) During the same Olympics, Bolt also set the world record in the200 mdash with a time of 19.30 s Using the same assumptions as for the 100 mdash, what was his maximum speed for this race?
a) Explain how you can use the graph of position versus time in Figure 2.54 to describe the change in velocity over time.
Identify
(b) the time ( ta, tb , tc , td , or te ) at which the instantaneous velocity is greatest,
(c) the time at which it is zero, and
(d) the time at which it is negative.

A cheetah can accelerate from rest to a speed of 30.0 m/s in 7.00 s. What is its acceleration?
Give an example in which there are clear distinctions among distance traveled, displacement, and magnitude of displacement. Specifically, identify each quantity in your example
