1. Assuming no air resistance, if the time for a projectile to get to the highest point is 27s, what would be its total flight time (in s)?
2. An object that has been moving with a speed of 5m/s for 10s can have a zero displacement. YES OR NO?
3. A person drops a stone from the top of a bridge that is 28.6m high. How long (in s) will it take the stone to hit the water?

- A football quarterback runs 11.5 m straight down the playing field in 2.42 s. He is then hit and pushed 2.75 m straight backward in 1.64 s. He breaks the tackle and runs straight forward another 23.1 m in 5.54 s. We assume the forward direction to be positive, and the backward position to be negative. Calculate his average velocity in m/s a. for each of the three intervals; b. for the entire motion. Hint a. His average velocities for each of the three intervals are o first interval v₁ = m/s Enter an integer or decimal number [more..] m/s o second interval v₂ = m/s othird interval v3 = b. His average velocity for the entire motion is v = m/sarrow_forward6. The instantaneous speed of a figure that describes a plane trajectory is v=ti + 2tj (m/s).
