A car is traveling on a straight road with velocity $55\,\mathrm{ft/sec}$ at time $t = 0$. For $0 \leq t \leq 18$ seconds, the car's acceleration $a(t)$, in $\mathrm{ft/sec}^{2}$, is the piecewise linear function defined by the graph above.
(a) Is the velocity of the car increasing at $t = 2$ seconds? Why or why not?
(b) At what time in the interval $0 \leq t \leq 18$, other than $t = 0$, is the velocity of the car $55\,\mathrm{ft/sec}$? Why?
(c) On the time interval $0 \leq t \leq 18$, what is the car's absolute maximum velocity, in $\mathrm{ft/sec}$, and at what time does it occur? Justify your answer.
(d) At what times in the interval $0 \leq t \leq 18$, if any, is the car's velocity equal to zero? Justify your answer.

A particle moves along the $x$-axis so that its velocity at time $t$, for $0 \leq t \leq 6$, is given by a differentiable function $v$ whose graph is shown above. The velocity is 0 at $t = 0 , t = 3$, and $t = 5$, and the graph has horizontal tangents at $t = 1$ and $t = 4$. The areas of the regions bounded by the $t$-axis and the graph of $v$ on the intervals $[ 0,3 ] , [ 3,5 ]$, and $[ 5,6 ]$ are 8, 3, and 2, respectively. At time $t = 0$, the particle is at $x = - 2$.
(a) For $0 \leq t \leq 6$, find both the time and the position of the particle when the particle is farthest to the left. Justify your answer.
(b) For how many values of $t$, where $0 \leq t \leq 6$, is the particle at $x = - 8$ ? Explain your reasoning.
(c) On the interval $2 < t < 3$, is the speed of the particle increasing or decreasing? Give a reason for your answer.
(d) During what time intervals, if any, is the acceleration of the particle negative? Justify your answer.

Caren rides her bicycle along a straight road from home to school, starting at home at time $t = 0$ minutes and arriving at school at time $t = 12$ minutes. During the time interval $0 \leq t \leq 12$ minutes, her velocity $v(t)$, in miles per minute, is modeled by the piecewise-linear function whose graph is shown above.

(b) Using correct units, explain the meaning of $\int_{0}^{12} |v(t)| \, dt$ in terms of Caren's trip. Find the value of $\int_{0}^{12} |v(t)| \, dt$.
(c) Shortly after leaving home, Caren realizes she left her calculus homework at home, and she returns to get it. At what time does she turn around to go back home? Give a reason for your answer.
(d) Larry also rides his bicycle along a straight road from home to school in 12 minutes. His velocity is modeled by the function $w$ given by $w(t) = \frac{\pi}{15} \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12} t\right)$, where $w(t)$ is in miles per minute for $0 \leq t \leq 12$ minutes. Who lives closer to school: Caren or Larry? Show the work that leads to your answer.
