Manong Edmond, a jeepney driver, is travelling from Manila City Hall to UST at a constant velocity of 10.23 kph. UST is 2.47 km away from the City Hall. How long will it take (in minutes) for Manong Edmond to reach UST? Assume that the pathway from City Hall to UST is purely linear and that traffic is negligible.

A high-tech drone flies over Miami, FL in a direction 50.4° west of north with a speed of 35.4 km/h. Three hours later, the drone suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to 19.2 km/h. How far (in kilometers) from Miami, FL is the drone 4.50 h after it passes over the Miami.
I have no idea to how to start to this question: Wags (a dog) decides to go on a journey. He begins his journey by traveling 58 meters in a direction directly south. He then runs 100.0 meters in a direction 30◦north of west. During the last leg of his journey, he follows a scent for 59 meters in a direction 30◦east of north. What distance does Wags end up from his initial startingpoint?

As it passes Grand Bahamas Islands, the eye of the hurricane Katrina is moving in a direction of 60 0 north of west at a speed of 50 kph. Three hours later, it shifts due north where its speed slows to 25 kph. How far from the Grand Bahamas is the eye of the hurricane 4.5 hrs. after it passes over the island?
An airplane leaves the runway heading south and flies for 2000km. It then heads 20 degree west to avoid a storm. After flying for 500km, it turns 40 degree toward the east and flies another 400km to its final destination. Calculate the displacement of the plane;s destination and the distance it travelled.
Mayan kings and many school sports teams are named or the puma, cougar, or mountain lion—Felis concolor— the best jumper among animals. It can jump to a height of 12.0 ft when leaving the ground at an angle of 45.0 degrees . With what speed, in SI units, does it leave the ground to makethis leap? Answer : 12.0 m/s

In your new job, you are the technical advisor for the writers of a gangster movie about Bonnie and Clyde. In one scene Bonnie and Clyde try to flee from one state to another. If they get across the state line, they could evade capture, at least for a while until they become Federal fugitives. In the script, Bonnie is driving down the highway at 108 km/hr and passes a concealed police car that is 1 km from the state line. The instant Bonnie and Clyde pass the patrol car, the cop pulls onto the highway and accelerates at a constant rate of 2 m/s2. The writers want to know if they make it across the state line before the pursuing cop catches up with them
