Problem: Displacement within a Time Interval, Total Distance Travelled, Average Speed, and Average Velocity

A particle travels along a straight line with a velocity $v = (12 – 3t^2)m/s$, where t is in seconds. When t = 1s, the particle is located 10m to the left of the origin. Determine the acceleration when t = 4s and identify whether the body is decelerating or accelerating. Also determine the displacement from t = 0 to t = 10s, and the distance the particle travels during this time period. After which, calculate the average speed and average velocity.

Problem: How Soon will the Motorcycle Overtake the Car?

A motorcycle is stopped by the side of the road when a car passes at 50mi/h. Twenty seconds later, the motorcycle starts chasing the car. Assume that the motorcycle accelerates at 8ft/s2 until it reaches 60mi/h and then travels at a constant speed. Find the amount of time it will take for the motorcycle to overtake the car and the total distance traveled by the motorcycle in that time.

Problem: Car Moving through Four Points, A-B-C-D

In travelling a distance of 3km between points A and D, a car is driven at 100km/h from A to B for t seconds and at 60km/h from C to D also for t seconds. If the brakes are applied for four seconds between B and C to give the car a uniform deceleration, calculate t and the distance s between A and B, in seconds and kilometers, respectively.
