Setup: You are in a car on a North-South roadway with no bends, no other cars, and no intersections. You can put the car in drive (Northbound direction) or reverse (Southbound direction), and you can use the gas pedal or the brake. Assume that if you neither hit the gas nor the brake you will coast at a constant velocity. Assignment: Describe a step-by-step procedure for making the following descriptions true of your car (see Table 1). Then state whether the car is speeding up, slowing down, or moving at a constant velocity and in which direction.
