A student begins rest and then walks North at speed of v1= 0.75 m/s. The student the. Turns south and walks at a speed of v2= 0.44 m/s. Take North to be the positive direction. Refer to the figure. What is the students overall average velocity vavg in meters per second, for the trip assuming the student spent equal times at speeds v1 and v2? If the student travels to the state it directions for 30.0 seconds and speed v1 and for 20.0 seconds at speed v2, what is the net displacement in meters during the trip?

TOPIC: KINEMATICS OF PARTICLE Rafael Joshua wants to test how fast can Supergirl save him if he jumps of a cliff 180m high. He recorded that after 5 seconds, Supergirl arrives at the cliff and dives to save Rafael Asma. Supergirl leaves a cliff with an initial velocity to give her a push to catch Rafael Asma, and later on act on free fall as Rafael Asma is. Compute the initial velocity of Supergirl so she can catch Rafael Asma before they hit the ground.WHAT IS THE INITIAL VELOCITY OF SUPERGIRL IS?
