A car comes to a stop six seconds after the driver applies the brakes. While the brakes are on, the velocities recorded are in Table 5.9. (a) Give lower and upper estimates for the distance the car traveled after the brakes were applied. (b) On a sketch of velocity against time, show the lower and upper estimates of part (a).

Question
A village wishes to measure the quantity of water thatis piped to a factory during a typical morning. A gaugeon the water line gives the flow rate (in cubic meters perhour) at any instant. The flow rate is about 100 m3/hr at6 am and increases steadily to about 280 m3/hr at 9 am.(a) Using only this information, give your best estimateof the total volume of water used by the factory between6 am and 9 am.(b) How often should the flow rate gauge be read to obtainan estimate of this volume to within 6 m3?
Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number 6 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A village wishes to measure the quantity of water thatis piped to a factory during a typical morning. A gaugeon the water line gives the flow rate (in cubic meters perhour) at any instant. The flow rate is about 100 m3/hr at6 am and increases steadily to about 280 m3/hr at 9 am.(a) Using only this information, give your best estimateof the total volume of water used by the factory between6 am and 9 am.(b) How often should the flow rate gauge be read to obtainan estimate of this volume to within 6 m3?
