5.The average person passes out at an acceleration of 7g (that is, seven times the gravitational acceleration on Earth). Suppose a car is designed to accelerate at this rate. How much time would be required for the car to accelerate from rest to 70.7 miles per hour? (The car would need rocket boosters!) 4. Two boats start together and race across a 46-km-wide lake and back. Boat A goes across at 46 km/h and returns at 46 km/h. Boat B goes across at 23 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 69 km/h. Turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the round trip first wins. Which boat wins? (Or is it a tie?)By how much? (km/h) What is the average velocity of the winning boat? (km/h)
4. A computer animator is trying to make an animation of a rabbit rushing back and forth along a sidewalk. He decides to model the rabbit's velocity over time as shown in the following graph, where time is measured in seconds and velocity is measured in meters per second. velocity 3 2 1 777749 -24 -4 -5 3 4 8 9 time 10 (Here, positive velocities indicate that the rabbit is heading east; negative velocities indicate that the rabbit is heading west.) (a) Suppose the rabbit starts at a position we'll call 0. Sketch a rough graph of the rabbit's position as a function of time on the interval [0, 10]. We do not expect your graph to be perfect, but it should accurately show whether the graph is increasing or decreasing and whether it is concave up or concave down. (b) At time 0, there was a squirrel sitting 2 meters east of the rabbit. Suppose that the squirrel's velocity on [0, 10] is given by the same graph shown above. On your graph from (a), also sketch the squirrel's position as a…
