You are at a rest stop 250 kilometers north of New York City. You then travel north at a constant velocity of 65 kilometers per hour for 2.0 hours. what is the initial velocity and the acceleration?

Answer 1

This question makes no sense. The given data describes an initial distance and implies an initial discontinuous step from zero velocity to a constant level. The acceleration is an impulse, which is, therefore, without limit at t=0. Better think this question over. You can ask a simple question such as, "What is your final loacation after the 2.0 hour travel time? Or you can correct the data so that there is a computable initial velocity and an initial acceleration.
