Robert has just jumped out of an airplane and has deployed his parachute. He is currently traveling down to the ground at a constant speed of 8.2 m/s. He is taking pictures when his camera accidently slips from his hand. If he is 426 m above the ground when this happens, how long, in seconds, will it take for the camera to hit the ground? HUGE HINT: The starting velocity of the camera is NOT zero.

At time t0=0.0s, a car, starting from rest, moves south. It continues moving south, and by time tf =121s, it has covered a distance of d=6689m. Take north as the positive x direction, as indicated in the figure. Part A: What is the car's average speed, in meters per second, during this period? Part B: What is the car's displacement, in meters, during this period? Part C: What is the car's average velocity, in meters per second, during this period? Part D: A different car, after starting from rest at t0 =0.0s, travels for the same period, tf =121s, attaining a final velocity of vf =−30.0m/s. What is this car's average acceleration, in meters per squared seconds, during the period described?
