Serway & Jewett β Motion in One Dimension: Problem 4
An athlete leaves one end of a pool of length \( L \) at \( t = 0 \) and arrives at the other end at time \( t_1 \). She swims back and arrives at the starting position at time \( t_2 \). If she is swimming initially in the positive \( x \) direction, determine her average velocities symbolically in (a) the first half of the swim, (b) the second half of the swim, and (c) the round trip. (d) What is her average speed for the round trip?
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) the first half of the swim; (b) the second half of the swim; (c) the round trip
