-Which part of the graph is going the furthest distance?
- both 1 and 4 are tied. Same area "under the curve"
500
A ship is at 50 km and sails at 30 m/s for 2 hours.
Find the final position.
convert 50 km to m (50,000)
convert 2 hrs to seconds (7,200)
50,000 + 30 (7,200) = 266,000 m

- Then, find the velocity after 3 s braking.
- 10 s to stop
- 17.5 m/s after 3 s
