Emily challenges her husband, David, to catch a $1 bill as follows. She holds the bill vertically as in Figure P2.67, with the center of the bill between David's index finger and thumb. David must catch the bill after Emily releases it without moving his hand downward. If his reaction time is 0.2 s, will he succeed? Explain your reasoning. (This challenge is a good trick you might want to try with your friends.) Figure P2.67

I took 2.28km and converted it to 2280 meters then divided by 3200 and ended up with .71m/s but it keeps saying that its incorrect. Im not sure where I keep messing up. John walks 1.80 kmkm north, then turns right and walks 1.40 kmkm east. His speed is 1.60 m/sm/sduring the entire stroll. What is the magnitude of his displacement, from beginning to end? (2.28) If Jane starts at the same time and place as John, but walks in a straight line to the endpoint of John's stroll, at what speed should she walk if she wants to arrive at the endpoint just when John does?
While running a marathon, a long-distance runner uses a stopwatch to time herself over a distance of 100 m. She finds that she runs this distance in 18 s. Answer the following by considering ratios, without computing her velocity. a. If she maintains her speed, how much time will it take her to run the next 400 m?
An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously?
