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
In 4245, let r(t) be the rate, in kg/sec, at which aspaceship burns fuel at time t sec. Assume that r(t) > 0 andr(t) < 0 for 0 t T , where T is the time at which allthe fuel has burned. Let Th be the time at which half the fuelhas burned and Q be the initial amount of fuel in kg. Statewhich of the following two expressions is larger, or that theyare equal, or that there is not enough information to decide., T0r(t) dt and Q
Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number 42 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In 4245, let r(t) be the rate, in kg/sec, at which aspaceship burns fuel at time t sec. Assume that r(t) > 0 andr(t) < 0 for 0 t T , where T is the time at which allthe fuel has burned. Let Th be the time at which half the fuelhas burned and Q be the initial amount of fuel in kg. Statewhich of the following two expressions is larger, or that theyare equal, or that there is not enough information to decide., T0r(t) dt and Q
