A cyclist rides 5.4 km east for 18 minutes, then he turns and heads west for 7 minutes and 2.1 km. Finally, he rides east for 11.4 km, which takes 38 minutes. (Assume motion toward the east is positive. Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.) (a) What is the final displacement of the cyclist (in km)? km (b) What is his average velocity (in km/h)? km/h

If a driver is initially going 21m/s to the left and then slams on the brakes to accelerate at a magnitude of 14.7m/s/s until she comes to a stop. How far did she travel/what was the distance she traveled the moment she started applying the brakes?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour 45 minutes. She then makes a course correction, heading 30 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 hours 30 minutes in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 340 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? Give your answer to the nearest mile.
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 11 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 625 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
An airplane with a still air velocity of 250.km/hr flies directly West to a destination that is 400.km away. How long will the trip take if it encounters a constant wind of 40.0km/hr from the West during the entire trip ?
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.31 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.93 km with an average velocity of 2.06 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.688 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?
Which of the following is the correct conversion of initial velocity in base SI units? Refer to the problem given below. Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the most iconic cars ever as it was featured as a Batmobile in the third installment of Batman Trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. If it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds, what is its rate of change in velocity per unit time? (1 mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers)
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 westbound car on the PA turnpike passes the exit for the northeast extension traveling at 16.2 m/s. If the car experiences a constant eastward acceleration of 2.13 m/s2, give the car's velocity after 3.36 s. Answer in m/s, using a coordinate system in which positive is toward the east.
The height of an object thrown upward with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second is given by the formula h = −16t2 + 96t, where t is the time in seconds. a) How long will it take the object to reach a height of 144 feet? b) How long will it take the object to return to the point of departure?
