A particle’s velocity is described by the function , where t is in s. a. At what times does the particle reach its turning points? b. What is the particle’s acceleration at each of the turning points?
FIGURE EX2.11 shows the velocity graph of a particle moving along the x-axis. Its initial position is x0 = 2.0 m at t0 = 0 s. At t = 2.0 s, what are the particle’s (a) position, (b) velocity, and (c) acceleration?

A basketball player can jump to a height of 55 cm. How far
above the floor can he jump in an elevator that is descending at a constant 1.0 m/s?
As a science project, you drop a watermelon off the top of the Empire State Building, 320 m above the sidewalk. It so happens that Superman flies by at the instant you release the watermelon. Superman is headed straight down with a speed of 35 m/s. How fast is the watermelon going when it passes Superman?
A block is suspended from a spring, pulled down, and released. The block’s position-versus-time graph is shown in FIGURE P2.38. a. At what times is the velocity zero? At what times is the velocity most positive? Most negative? b. Draw a reasonable velocity-versus-time graph.
