Bartholomew jogs from home at 3.50 m/s north for 1380 seconds. Then, he turns around and jogs 2.40 m/s east for 875 seconds.
A) Assuming an original position of zero, where is Bartholomew now?
B) What is his average velocity?
C) If a third part of his jog returns him home in 985 seconds, what should his velocity be on this part?
You get in your car and drive north, accelerating up to 60mph. Draw your velocity vector and acceleration vector some time during your acceleration. How would these change if you encountered traffic and started to brake?
Kevin flies (in his private jet) from Los Angeles (LA) to San Francisco (SF), a distance of 450 miles, in 3 hours. He flies back in 2-7/19 hours. If the wind is blowing from the north at a steady rate during both flights, find the velocity of the wind.Answer=20mph

- An object moves on a horizontal coordinate line. Its directed distance s from the origin at the end of t seconds is t^3 - 6t^2 + 9t feet. a) What is the acceleration when its velocity is equal to zero? b) When is the object moving to the left? c) When is its speed increasing? d) When is the acceleration positive? Kindly show your step-by-step solution.arrow_forwardA motorcycle starts from rest when t = 0 and travels along a straight road at a constant velocity of 7.0 ft/s² until it reaches a speed of 60 ft/s. Then it maintains this speed. Also, when t = 0, a car located 6000 ft from the motorcycle is traveling toward the motorcycle at a constant speed of 40 ft/s. Determine the time when they intersect.arrow_forwardYou drive a beat-up pickup truck along a straight road for 8.4 km at 70 km/h, at which point the truck runs out of gasoline and stops. Over the next 30 min, you walk another 2.0 km farther along the road to a gasoline station.
