#1) Imagine it has recently snowed significantly in Huntington, WV. The driver of a snow plow headingEast pulls off into an emergency turn around on 1-64 so that he can turn around and plow the westwardmoving side of the interstate. The snow plow driver patiently waits for a break in the traffic until hecan merge into the westward moving traffic. In order to successfully merge with constant acceleration,the snow plow starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 19.0 m/s when it reachesthe end of the merge lane, which has a total length of 121 m. Report answers to 3 sig figs. ECANSUA) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the snow plow?B) How much time does it take the snow plow to travel the full length of the merging lane?C) The traffic on 1-64 is moving at a constant speed of 19.0 m/s. What distance does the traffic travelwhile the snow plow is moving the length of the merging lane?

You take your dog on a walk to a nearby park. On the way, yourdog takes many short side trips to chase squirrels, examine fire hydrants, and so on. When you arrive at the park, do you and yourdog have the same displacement from home? Have you and yourdog traveled the same distance? Explain
4-You leave your house, driving your car at a constant speed of 30 mph in a direction 20 degrees west of north for 2 hours. Then, you reach an intersection, make a 90 degree turn to the left. You then continue in that direction at a constant speed of 50 mph for one hour. Finally, you drive your car directly back to your house in a straight line path. How far do you travel during the return trip to your house? Give your answer to 3 sig ﬁgs.

While scavenging for acorns before the big winter, Scrat the Squirrel leaves his tree house and skitters along 8.00 m at a heading of 40.0° SoE to collect two acorns. Then, he traipses off 10.0 m West to snag another acorn. Finally, he sees a big prize and hurriedly rushes 12.0 m at 20.0° EoN. If he must now make it back to his tree house, how far and in what direction should he head to go home? I know the answer I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 6.14 m @ 87.8° NoE Thanks!!
