Question
1) A dog. initially at position 2.8 m [W] of its owner, runs to retrieve a stick that is 12.6 m [E] of
its owne.
a) Draw an illustration showing the position and displacement vectors in this situation.
b) Determine the displacement the dog needs to reach the stick.
2) The table below gives the position-time data of a ball that has left a bowler's hand and is
rolling forward. Detemine the displacement between the following times:

3) A motorcycle took only 6.0 seconds to go from rest to 78 m/s (2.8 x 102 km/hr), earning the
world record for motorcycle acceleration. Calculate the magnitude of the record average
acceleration in m/s2
