Your car is parked at the high school. After school you take off and travel for 27 km towards lowaCity. At this point, you realize you forget your wallet and travel back to Tipton for 15 km beforeyou find your wallet was just on the floor. You turn back and head towards lowa city for 36 km.What is your displacement?
35. A person going for a walk follows the path shown in
T Figure P3.35. The total trip consists of four straight-line
paths. At the end of the walk, what is the person's resultant
displacement measured from the starting point?
Start 100 m
300 m
End
200 m
30.0
150 m
60.0°

I need help with Q4. I can't figure out what equation I should use to find the velocity. I think it would be a combination of the velocity formulas for x and y but I'm not sure. My 4 simplified equations are:
1. Vxf = Vxi
2. (delta)x = Vxi * (delta)t
3. Vyf = 9.8 m/s^2 * (delta)t
4. (delta)y = 1/2(9.8 m/s^2) * (delta)t^2
For my data I have:
(delta)y = 0.6604 meters
(delta) t = 0.367 seconds
I don't need the answer or a long explanation, I really just can't figure out what equation/formula I need to use to find "the velocity of your object as it rolls off the incline and enters free-fall."

The object's height, measured in feet, after t seconds is h(t) = 16t? + 128t + 1040. A) What is the object initial velocity? ft/second B) What is the highest point that the object reaches? feetarrow_forwardMy question isn't how to solve the problem exactly. In fact, it's already been solved on this website. My question is about the acceleration. When I solve this problem myself, first I calculate the velocity by dividing 100m by 53s. I get 1.89m/s. Then I use that to find the acceleration using the equation vf = vi + at. That's 1.89/53 = 0.036m/s^2. That's not correct. The correct way to find the acceleration is to us the equation d = 1/2 at^2 and solve that way without taking the intermediate step of finding the velocity. Doing it that way, the acceleration is 0.0712m/s^2. My question is why you get a different result doing it the first way than you get doing it the second way.arrow_forward
- Why is the following situation possible? Emily challenges her friend David to catch a $1 bill as follows. She holds the bill vertically as shown in figure P2.29 with the center of the bill between but not touching David's index finger and thumb. Without warning, Emily releases the bill. David catches the bill without moving his hands downwards. David reaction time is equal to the average human reaction time. Avg human reaction time is .2s. Dollar bill is approx 15.5cm in length. I need help explaining this. Thank you.arrow_forwardGaetano shoots a basketball from a height of 6.5 ft with an initial vertical velocity of 17 ft/s.
