A bicycle travels 6.20 km due east in 0.540 h, then 7.60 km at 15.0° east of north in 0.600 h, and finally another 6.20 km due east in 0.540 h to reach its destination. The time lost in turning is negligible. Assume that east is in the +x-direction and north is in the +y-direction. What is the magnitude of the average velocity for the entire trip?

At one instant a bicyclist is 40.0 m due east of a park’s flagpole, going due south with a speed of 10.0 m/s.Then 30.0 s later, the cyclist is 40.0 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 10.0 m/s. For the cyclist in this 30.0 s interval, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the displacement, the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the average velocity, and the (e) magnitude and (f) direction of the average acceleration?
A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. ( m/s) + ( m/s) At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = m/s2. The time needed to reach maximum height is t = s. The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = m.

On a spacecraft two engines fire for a time of 389 s. One gives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of ax = 3.41 m/s^2, while the other produces an acceleration in the y direction of ay = 7.34 m/s^2. At the end of the firing period, the craft has velocity components of vx = 1860 m/s and vy = 4290 m/s. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the initial velocity. Express the direction as an angle with respect to the +x axis.
