A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 19.5 km. The trip took 20.3 min. If the straight-line distance from her home to the university is 9.9 km in a direction 25° south of east, what was the magnitude of her average velocity in meters per second?

A student drove to campus from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 12 km. The trip took 18 minutes. If the straight line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a direction 25 degrees south of east, what was the magnitude of her average velocity in km/hr?
A stone thrown downward with an initial velocity of 44.1 m/sec will travel a distance of S meters, where s(t)=4.9t^2 +44.1t and t is in seconds. If a stone is thrown downward at 44.1m/sec from a height of 343 m, how long will it take for the stone to hit the ground ? ^ = indicates it's squared but I was not able to find the symbol on my phone to indicate this so when factoring this equation please ensure it's squared thanks
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10° to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 500 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 11 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 625 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)

Problem 2.01. A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odome- ter reading of her car increased by 12.0 km. The trip took 18.0 min. (a) What was her average speed? (b) If the straight-line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a di- rection 25.0° south of east, what was her average velocity? (c) If she returned home by the same path 7 h 30 min after she left, what were her average speed and velocity for the entire trip?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour 45 minutes. She then makes a course correction, heading 30 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 hours 30 minutes in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 340 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? Give your answer to the nearest mile.
A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 19.5 kilometers. The trip took 20.3 min. What was her average speed, in METERS per second? If she drove back home using the same path she took out to the university and arrives 7.2 h after she first left home, what was her average speed for the entire trip, in meters per second?
