Consider a scooter, under constant acceleration, that is traveling at 1. 0 mph when t=0
seconds and 4. 0 mph when t=6 seconds.
a) What is the dependent variable? What is the independent variable?
b) Write the velocity as a function of time for t less than or equal to 6 seconds.
c) Carefully graph velocity as a function of time for the scooter. Properly label the graph.
d) What is the acceleration of the scooter? Label the acceleration on your graph.
e) What is the initial velocity of the scooter? Label it on your graph.
f) Using the graphical method discussed in class, how far does the scooter travel between 0 and 6 seconds?
g) Using the kinematic equations, how far does the scooter travel between 0 and 6 seconds? Compare this answer to part (f) and comment.
