A whale swims at a constant velocity of 15 m/s southeast for 10 seconds, slows to a stop at a rate of 3 m/s^2, and then accelerates northwest at a rate of 2 m/s^2 for 5 seconds.

(a) sketch the velocity versus time t for the entire motion. Assume the motion started at time t=0 seconds;

(b) how long did the motion described last?;

(c) find an expression of the whale's velocity as a function of time for the entire motion;

(d) find an expression for the whales acceleration as a function of time for the entire motion;

(e) sketch the acceleration as a function of time;

(f) find an expression for the whale's average velocity over any time interval [0,t] during the motion;

(g) find the expression fo the whale's displacement as a function of time; and

(h) sketch the displacement versus time for the entire motion.

An airplane is flying at a constant horizontal velocity of 184.5 m/s and drops a rocket. The rocket falls for 10.24 s without air resistance and under the influence of gravity only, and then fires its thrusters. From the moment the thrusters are one, the rocket has a net acceleration of 5.481 direscted 30.21 degrees above the horizontal. How far apart are the plane and the rocket when the rocket passes back through the cruising altitude of the plane?
