Question

A rocket is attached to a toy car that is confined to move in the x-direction ONLY. At time to = 0 s, the car is not moving but the rocket is lit, so the toy car accelerates in the +x-direction at 5.35 m/s2. At t; = 3.60 s, the rocket's fuel is used up, and the toy car begins to slow down at a rate of 1.95 m/s2 because of friction. A very particular physics professor wants the average velocity for the entire trip of the toy car to be +6.50 m/s. In order to make this happen, the physics professor plans to push the car (immediately after it comes to rest by friction) with a constant velocity for 4.50 sec. What displacement must the physics professor give the car (immediately after it comes to rest by friction) in order for its average velocity to be +6.50 m/s for its entire trip (measured from the time the rocket is lit to the time the physics professor stops pushing the car)?

Answer 1
