I started hiking on a trail that was 10 kilometers long at a speed of 5 km/h. My brother walked in circles around a track at 4 km/h. At the end of 2 hours, who had the greatest change in position? Explain your answer.

We saw in class, through Galileo's experiments, that an object's motion can be split and the vertical motion can be analyzed apart from the horizontal motion. Let's start with a one-dimensional motion first. Analyzing the motion of a vertical projectile: Imagine (and/or actually do this to get a sense of what happens) you are standing straight while holding a ball in your hand at your side. The ball is at rest at a height of about 0.5 meters above the ground. You move to throw the ball straight up in the air as hard as you can. The ball leaves your hand at around chest-high (let's say this is 1.2 m above the ground). a) What is happening to the ball's motion while it is in contact with your hand? b) At what point does your hand stop affecting the ball's motion? c) What is the ball's velocity at the moment it reaches it's maximum height? d) What is the ball's velocity when it has fallen back to the chest-high position, or 1.2 m above the ground?

A plane takes off from an airport which is at sea level. The aircraft’s altitude inmetresat a time of t minutes is modelled by the equation h = 5400 ln(t + 1) a).What is the height of the plane after five minutes b) What is the rate of climb of the plane after five minutes? c) Using differentiation, show the curve y = h(t) has no stationary points, and hence comment on how realistic the model would be for large t.
