A man runs around a circular track of 800 m radius for 30 secs, starting at a point directly to the right of the center and goes in a counterclockwise manner. He goes 5 m/s for the first 15 secs, runs 90 m for the next 6 secs, and then 180 m for the rest of the course. What is his average speed? What was his displacement from the starting point? What was his average velocity?

Alex goes cruising on his dirt bike. He rides 700 m north, 300 m east, 400 m north, 600 m west, 1200 m south 300 m east and finally 100 m north. What distance did he cover? What was his displacement?
Starting from the front door of your ranch house, you walk 60.0 m due east to your windmill, and then you turn around and slowly walk 35.0 m west to a bench where you sit and watch the sunrise. It takes you 30.0 s to walk from your house to the windmill and then 46.0 s to walk from the windmill to the bench. For the entire trip from your front door to the bench, what is your average speed?
Starting from the front door of a ranch house, you walk 60.0 m due east to a windmill, turn around, and then slowly walk 40.0 m west to a bench, where you sit and watch the sunrise. It takes you 28.0 s to walk from the house to the windmill and then 36.0 s to walk from the windmill to the bench. For the entire trip from the front door to the bench, what are your (a) average velocity and (b) average speed?
A person going for a walk follows the path shown in Figure P3.35. The total trip consists of four straight-line paths. At the end of the walk, what is the persons resultant displacement measured from the starting point? Figure P3.35
A bald eagle flies a distance of 140 km, north in 1.5 hours. Then it flies another 45 km in the same direction for half an hour. How much is the eagle’s total displacement? What is it’s velocity?
a man walks south at a speed of 2.00m / s for 15.0 minutes. then he turns and walks north at a distance of 2000m in 15.00 minutes. What is the average speed of the man during his entire movement?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 12° to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 900 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
The bacterium Escherichia coli (or E. coli) is a single-celled organism that lives in the gut of healthy humans and animals. When grown in a uniform medium rich in salts and amino acids, these bacteria swim along zig-zag paths at a constant speed of 20 μm/s. Figure shows the trajectory of an E. coli as it moves from point A to point E. Each segment of the motion can be identified by two letters, such as segment BC. a. For each of the four segments in the bacterium’s trajectory, calculate the x- and y-components of its displacement and of its velocity.b. Calculate both the total distance traveled and the magnitude of the net displacement for the entire motion.c. What are the magnitude and the direction of the bacterium’s average velocity for the entire trip?
A skier is initially at point A at 50 m (tA=0.0 minutes); he moves to the right in 1 minute to point B at 400.m (tB=1.0 minutes), then turns and moves 150. m to the left at point C after another minute (tC=2.0 minutes) and finally after another minute has moved right by 100. m at point D (tD=3.0 minutes). 1. What is the skier’s distance from A to D? 2. What is the skier’s displacement from A to D? 3. What is the skier average velocity from A to D? 4. What is the skier average speed from A to D?
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.
The position of a particle as a function of time is shown in the figure. What is the particle's average velocity between time t = 0.8 s and time t = 7.2 s? What is the average speed of the particle between time t = 0.8 s and time t = 7.2 s? What is the average acceleration of the particle in the time interval between t = 0.8 s and t = 7.2 s?
You are on the roof of a Physics Building, 34 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.96 m tall, is approaching the building at a constant speed of 1.46 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on his head, how far should your professor be when you release the egg?
