In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.14 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 5.56 km with an average velocity of 3.44 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.376 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)? West East 3p Number Units km

Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 20.0m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.8 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +x-direction point in the direction the cheetah runs. Express the cheetah's top speed vtop in miles per hour (mi/h). Vtop= ______________ mi/h Starting from a crouched position, how much time taccel does it take a cheetah to reach its top speed, what distance d does it travel in that time? taccel = ____________ s d=_____________ m If a cheetah sees a rabbit 129.0 m away, how much time ttotal will it take to reach the rabbit, assuming the rabbit does not move and the cheetah starts from rest? ttotal = _________ s
The displacement of a particle is given by s = 4t3 - 60t² + 100t - 58 where s is in feet and t is in seconds. Plot the displacement, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time for the first 13 seconds of motion. After you have made the plots, answer the questions.
