1D Kinematics
If train A leaves from El Paso at high noon and train B leaves from Dallas at 1 PM, you won't know when they meet unless you master 1D kinematics. What are you waiting for?
Assume that the escalator and man are both move with constant respective velocities.

The length of a clock's second-hand is \(45\text{ mm}.\) What is the average velocity of the end point of this second hand during any thirty seconds of time?

An object is positioned at \(x=0\) at time \(t=0.\) It accelerates at a rate of \(2.3\text{ m/s}^2\) for \(2.6\) seconds, then it accelerates at a rate of \(-5.2\text{ m/s}^2\) for \(2.4\) seconds. What is the approximate velocity of the object at \(t=4.4\) seconds?

The position of an object moving along the \(x\)-axis with constant acceleration is described as \[x=\frac{7}{2}t^2+3t+6.\] If \(t\) is in seconds and \(x\) is in meters, what is the acceleration of this object?
