- A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 12.0 km. The trip took 17.9 min. a.If the straight-line distance from her home to the university is 10.310.3 km in a direction 28.028.0º south of east, what was her average velocity? (magnitude and direction south of east) b.If she returned home by the same path 6.50h after she left, what was her average speed for the entire trip?arrow_forwardChapter 02, Problem 10 In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.26 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.62 km with an average velocity of 2.54 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.381 m/s due east.

(a) What was his usual average speed? What was the distance travelled? (b) On the way he stopped at a rail crossing (6.00 m wide) and a train (total length 144m) decelerating at -0.585 ms2 just entered the crossing with a velocity of 13.7 m s¹.

- A car starts from 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 4.00 m/s2 for 6.0 s, it coasts for 5.00 s, and then slows down at a rate of 2.00 m/s2to a stop. How far has it traveled, in meters? Your answer needs to have 3 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.arrow_forwardAssume that you are driving a car at 10.0 km/h and then you accelerate to 80.0 km/h with an acceleration of 3.50 m/s².
