Rumours say that when the town got rebuilt Mr Crawford threatened the workers if they came near his house… but then you can’t always believe what you hear.

This idea of a “Color Complex” has psychologically altered the way many African Americans perceive beauty‚ success‚ and their personal identity.

Acceleration 2 The problem v vs t graph Solution 1. A poorly tuned Yugo can accelerate from rest to a speed of 28 m/s in 20 s. a) What is the average acceleration of the car? b) What distance does it travel in this time? a = (28-0m/s)/20s = 1.4 m/s/s x = 1/2at2 = ½(1.4)(20)2= 280m 2. At t = 0 a car has a speed of 30 m/s. After 6 s‚ its speed is 15 m/s. What is its average acceleration during this time interval? a = (15-30m/s)/6s = -2.5m/s/s 3.
