This means he would have totravel at a significantly higher velocity if accounting for realistic obstacles such as slowercars and stoplights.Can You Apply It?Using the information provided above, answer the following questions.1. Why is it unrealistic to think you will get to your destination on time if you are running late inthe scenario described above?2. If your average velocity for the first half of a trip is 30 mph and 20 mph for the second half,what is your overall velocity?3. How much faster would someone reach their destination if they increased their averagevelocity from 50 mph to 60 mph on a 30 mile trip?

Real-life situations are different from the theoretical solutions we get in a notebook. Therefore,…

You throw a ball straight upward from the Furman bell tower at a velocity of 96 ft/s. The bell tower is 88 feet, but suppose you throw the ball from a height of 80 feet, since the stairs do not go all the way to the top. Assume that acceleration due to gravity is the usual −32 ft/ s2. How long was the ball in the air?
A monkey hanging from a tree branch sees a hunter aiming a rifle directly at him. The monkey then sees a flash and knows that the rifle has been fired. Reacting quickly, the monkey lets go of the branch and drops so that the bullet can pass harmlessly over his head. Does this act save the monkey’s life? Why or why not? (Hint: Consider the similarities between this situation and that of Exercise 24.11.)
