1. An airplane flies 650 kilometres east in 1.2 hours. What is the airplane's velocity? 2. Yelena's mother drives 12 km southwest to Robinson's mall. What is the velocity of her mother's automobile if she arrives at the mall in 6 minutes? 3. Karl walks to a friend house. He walks 1200 metres north, and then he realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 350 metres south. The entire walk takes him 25 minutes. What is Karl's velocity?

One student uses a meterstick to measure the thickness of a textbook and obtains 4.3 cm 0.1 cm. Other students measure the thickness with vernier calipers and obtain four different measurements: (a) 4.32 cm 0.01 cm. (b) 4.31 cm 0.01 cm, (c) 4.24 cm 0.01 cm, and (d) 4.43 cm 0.01 cm. Which of these four measurements, if any, agree with that obtained by the first student?
Consider the equation s=s0+v0t+a0t2/2+j0t3/6+s0t4/24+ct5/120 , were s is a length and t is a time. What are the dimensions and SI units of (a) s0 , (b) v0 , (c) a0 , (d) j0 , (e) s0, and (f) c ?
When non-metric units were used in the United Kingdom, a unit of mass called the pound-mass (lbm) was employed, where 1 lbm = 0.4539 kg. (a) If there is an uncertainty of 0.0001 kg in the pound-mass unit, what is its percent uncertainty? (b) Based on that percent uncertainty, what mass in pound-mass has an uncertainty of 1 kg when converted to kilograms?

. In your own words, provide two advantages of using meters as a measurement of length rather than old measurements of length such as hands or steps. Your response should be three to four complete sentences. Make sure to use proper grammar and spelling.
