Homework Statement
12.81[/B] A train traveling at 20m/s is brought to an emergency stop. During braking,
the acceleration is a=-(7/4)+(t/16) m/s^2, where t is the time in seconds measured
from when the brakes were applied. (a) Integrate the acceleration from t=0 to
t=16s using Euler's method with Δt=2s. (b) Use the results of the integration to
determine the stopping distance of the train and compare you answer with 138.7m,
the value found analytically.
12.82 Solve Prob. 12.81 using the modified Euler method with Δt=4s

The Attempt at a Solution
12.81 [/B]was handled in my previous post in this sub forum. I attach my attempt in 12.82.
I have run an online modified Euler calculator and my values are not correct.
Can you check this?
