A teenager walks 191 meters north to their friends house and gets therelin 5 min. They forgot their phone so they run back to there house and return to there friends house in 9.8 minutes. If north is considered positive and south is considered negative, what is the total distance of the teenage when they return to their friend's house from the beginning of the trip?

Three displacement vectors of a croquet ball are shown in Figure P1.44, where |A|=20.0units, |B|=40.0units, and |C|=30.0units. Find (a) the resultant in unit-vector notation and (b) the magnitude and direction of the resultant displacement. Figure P1.44
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .

A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 102 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline lo the tree is = 35.0 (Fig. P1.53). How wide is the river? Figure P1.53
