Two ants, Xavier and Yvonne, move from point a to point b on the figure below. Xavier takes path X; Yvonne takes path Y. Even though their paths are different, they both arrive at point b at the same time. Using a ruler and the fact that it took both of them 4.93 seconds to go from point a to point b, calculate both the speed and the velocity (in cm/s) for both Xavier and Yvonne and enter these values into the table. Then, in words, tell me: how do their speeds compare? How do their velocities compare? 1. Two ants, Xavier and Yvonne, move from point a to point b on thefigure below.

Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs downfield at 45 with respect to the 50-yard line and covers 8.0 m in 1 s. He then fins straight down the field at 90 with respect to the 50-yard line for 12 m, with an elapsed time of 1.2 s. (a) What is Matthews’ final displacement from the start of the play? (b) What is his average velocity?
Two ducks, Donald and Cassiopeia, are gliding gracefully toward eachother along a pond, in a straight line. Donald is initially moving at v =0.500 m/s, and begins accelerating at 0.100 m/s2 at t = 0 s. Cassiopeiamoves at a constant speed of v = 0.700 m/s. If they are initially separatedby 25.0 m, where will they collide? Take Donald’s initial position as theorigin. How long will it take for them to collide?
Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 3.30 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realizes that she left in such a hurry that she forgot her lunch of bagels, so he runs to the window of their apartment, which is a height 52.5 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw them to her. Bruce throws them horizontally at a time 9.00 s after Henrietta has passed below the window, and she catches them on the run. You can ignore air resistance. I. With what initial speed must Bruce throw the bagels so Henrietta can catch them just before they hit the ground? (Express your answer in meters per second.) II. Where is Henrietta when she catches the bagels? (Express your answer in meters.)
Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 3.45 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realizes that she left in such a hurry that she forgot her lunch of bagels, so he runs to the window of their apartment, which is a height 36.4 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw them to her. Bruce throws them horizontally at a time 7.00 s after Henrietta has passed below the window, and she catches them on the run. You can ignore air resistance. With what initial speed must Bruce throw the bagels so Henrietta can catch them just before they hit the ground? Where is Henrietta when she catches the bagels?

1A. You're feeding the fish at the pond by the baseball field and decide to do some physics calculations. You notice that you release the fish food 1.65 m above the surface of the water, and during one throw, when the food left your hand at 3.20 m/s with a direction of 13.0° below the horizon, you managed to hit a fish near the surface. How fast was the food going right before it hits the fish? 1B.Two kittens are running toward each other, one is named Chloe and the other is named Luna. Luna runs at a speed of 1.40 m/s. If Chloe jumps at an angle of 37.0° with speed 2.70 m/s, at what distance from Luna should Chloe jump to make sure she lands on Luna?
1. In an experiment, a shearwater (seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, andreleased. It found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin in thenest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird’s average velocity in m/s(a) For the return flight?(b) For the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?
