Chapter 2, Problem 6

(choose chapter or problem)

An automobile, initially at rest, begins to move along a straight track. The velocity increases steadily until suddenly the driver sees a concrete barrier in the road and applies the brakes sharply at time \(\mathrm{t}_{0}\). The car decelerates rapidly, but it is too late—the car crashes into the barrier at time \(\mathrm{t}_{1}\) and instantaneously comes to rest. Sketch a position versus time curve that might represent the motion of the car. Indicate how characteristics of your curve correspond to the events of this scenario.
