An antelope moving with constant acceleration covers the distance between two points
70 meters apart in 7 seconds. Its speed as it passes the second point is 15 m/s.
a. What is its speed at the first point?
Mr. M gets on his bike and rides 11m in the direction of [E52S]. He then changes his direction to [W11N] and rides another 5.7m.
a) What was his total displacement?
b) What was his distance traveled?
Aila is running at 5 m/s to catch the school bus, which is stopped to a nearby bus stop. When Aila is still 40 meters away from the bus, the bus is already moving with a constant acceleration of 0.170 m/s^2.
A. Compute the time and the distance does Aila have to run before she can overtake the bus.
B. At the instant she reaches the bus, how fast is the bus moving?

- Answer the following question(s): A student sees her physical science professor approaching on the sidewalk that runs by her dorm. She gets a water balloon and waits. When the professor is 2.0s from being directly under the window about 11m from the sidewalk, she drops the balloon. Finish the story. Instructor Note: There are several ways to reach the correct answer. I generally solve for time to determine if balloon will hit the professor or not based on the given scenario.
