*2. A car drives 3 blocks north and then turns right and drives 4 blocks east. The trip, in traf- fic, takes him 15 minutes. Using a coordinate system with an x-axis pointing east and a y-axis pointing north, find the car's average velocity for this trip, in blocks per minute. Express the velocity in curly bracket notation.

An adventure racer ran 1.7 km north, then 3.2 km 63° to the south of due east, then 1.4 km west. She completed the trip in 2 hr: 5 min :8 s. What was the magnitude of her average velocity over the entire trip in m/s? Express your answer in metres/second to two decimal places (do not include units in your answer).
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.18 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 5.06 km with an average velocity of 2.21 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.717 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)? dw VE East West de Units Number
Ajetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 68.2 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 750 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 7.16 m/s. Compute the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing (take the direction of the plane's motion as positive). Number i Units

An object is dropped from a roof of a building of height h. During the last second of its descent, it drops a distance h/3. Hint: Let t be the total time of descent. Set up two equations in terms of h, g and t. a) Solve for t, the total time in the air. b) Calculate the height of the building.
A jet accelerates at a constant rate from rest, traveling 900 m in 3.0 s. What is the magnitude of its acceleration, in m/s?? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
