If you divide the total distance traveled on a car trip (as determined by the odometer) by the elapsed time of the trip, are you calculating average speed or magnitude of average velocity? Under what circumstances are these two quantities the same?
An object is thrown from a level field with initial upward speed 17 m/s and forward speed 9.9 m/s. How far (in m) from its launch point is its landing place? You do not need to put the unit in the answer, just the number. As usual, ignore air resistance, etc; use the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 meters per second squared.
A typical jetliner lands at a speed of 160 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.0 mi/h)/s. If the plane travels at a constant speed of 160 mi/h for 1.00 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the aircraft between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?
