A student is standing still at the front doors of Maple. They start running to catch the bus at

(a) How far away is the bus stop if they reach the bus stop after accelerating from standing still until reaching maximum speed and running at that speed for 1 minute? (assume when they reach the bus stop they are at rest.)
(b) Suppose that the student gets to the bus stop and realizes they forgot their laptop in Maple. The next bus arrives in 2 minutes. However, they are extremely tired at this point, and their max running speed is now 6 ft/s. Can they run back to maple and return to the bus stop in time? (Assume their acceleration remains the same)
(c) Alternatively, suppose the student is running from Maple Hall to Sieg Hall which is 2000 feet away. Find the time (in seconds) it takes the student to travel this distance. (Assume they are at rest when they reach Sieg.) Use 7ft/s & 2 ft/s^2.

1: You are on a game show standing in front of 3 doors. Behind 1 door there is a brand new car, behind the other 2 doors are goats. You select door #2, but before the host opens your selected door, he opens door #1, revealing a goat. The host then gives you the option of changing your selection to door #3. Should you switch doors? What is the probability that the car is behind door #3?
