Q1.

a).  A ball is thrown upwards into the air. Total time for the ball to move upwards to the peak and then return to the ground is (251.85) seconds. Find the height to which the ball rises before it reaches its peak.

 b).

You drive a beat up truck along a straight road for 11 km at 60 km/h, at which point the truck runs out of gasoline and stops. Over the next (251.85) min, you walk another 5 km farther.

  • What is your overall displacement from the beginning of drive to your arrival at the station?
  • What is the time interval from the beginning of your drive to your travel at the station?
  • What is your average velocity from beginning of your drive to your arrival at the station?
