A cab driver heads south with a steady speed of v, = 22.0 m/s for t, = 3.00 min, then makes a right turn and travels at v, = 25.0 m/s for t, = 3.00 min, and then drives northwest at v, = 30.0 m/s for t, = 1.00 min. For this 7.00-min trip, calculate the following. Assume +x is in the eastward direction. (a) total vector displacement (Enter the magnitude in m and the direction in degrees south of west.) magnitude m direction o south of west (b) average speed (in m/s) m/s (c) average velocity (Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees south of west.) magnitude m/s direction O south of west

The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
A rubber stopper on the end of a string is swung steadily in a horizontal circle. In one trial, it moves at speed v in a circle of radius r. In a second trial, it moves at a higher speed 3v in a circle of radius 3r. In this second trial, is its acceleration (a) the same as in the first trial, (b) three times larger, (c) one-third as large, (d) nine times larger, or (e) one-ninth as large?
A ball is thrown straight up with initial speed 15.0 m/s and rises 11.5 m above the release point before returning to Earth. What initial velocity is required to make the ball rise twice as high? Ignore any effects due to air resistance.
A sky diver drops his smuggled 1kg weight from physics lab out of the air plane before he jumps, which is flying horizontally going 175 m/s at a height of 2 km. IF WE ASSUME NO AIR RESISTANCE, what is the Velocity (magnitude and direction) when it hits the ground?
Chinook salmon can cover more distance in less time by periodically making jumps out of the water. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with velocity 6.03 m/s at 40.6° above the horizontal, re-enters the water a distance L upstream, and then swims the same distance L underwater in a straight, horizontal line with velocity 2.92 m/s before jumping out again. What is the fish's average horizontal velocity (in m/s) between jumps? (Round your answer to at least 2 decimal places.) Consider the interval of time necessary to travel 2L. How is this reduced by the combination of jumping and swimming compared with just swimming at the constant speed of 92m/s? Express the reduction as a percentage. What If? Some salmon are able to jump a distance Lout of the water while only swimming a distance L/4 between jumps. By what percentage are these salmon faster than those requiring an underwater swim of distance L? (Assume the salmon jumps out of the water with velocity 03m/s…
A cannon fires a shell straight upward; 1.7 s after it is launched, the shell is moving upward with a speed of 20 m/s. Assuming air resistance is negligible, find the speed (magnitude of velocity) of the shell at launch and 5.3 s after the launch. (a) at launch______m/s(b) 5.3 s after the launch______m/s
A train makes a round trip on a straight, level track. The first half of the trip is 300km and is traveled at a speed of 75 km/m. After a 0.50 h layover, the train returns the 300km at the speed of 85 km/h. What is the train’s (a) average speed and (b) average velocity?
At one instant a bicyclist is 40.0 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 11.0 m/s. Then 37.0 s later, the cyclist is 40.0 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 11.0 m/s. For the cyclist in this 37.0 s interval, what are the (e) magnitude and (f) direction of the average acceleration?
