Part b) What is the object's final velocity, in meters per second, as it impacts the ground? Part c) Find the time, in seconds, if you instead threw the object down with the same velocity, voy?
Satellite data taken several times per hour on a particular albatross showed travel of 1200 km over a time of 1.4 days.a. Given these data, what was the bird’s average speed in mph?b. Data on the bird’s position were recorded only intermittently.Explain how this means that the bird’s actual average speed was higher than what you calculated in part a.

An advertisement for the newest model of a Mercedes sports claims the car can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour (mph) in just 3.3 seconds! a) How many meters per second (m/s) is 60 mph? b) In m/s 2 (sometimes written as m/s/s also, just so you know), what is the supposed acceleration of the sports car? c) Impressed by this claim, Sherry buys one. She hops into her new Mercedes sports car and steps on the gas. She’s an engineer and did the math later on; she discovered that her car’s acceleration is 6.7 m/s2 . i) Is her car’s acceleration faster or slower than the advertisement claims it should be? ii) In seconds, how long did it actually take for Sherry’s car to reach 60 mph
Hi I am in physics 1 and I need help with this problem. It saids a boy runs in an open field. He runs 233m due north in 77 seconds, turns 90 degrees to his left and runs 178m in 93 seconds. Sketch a map of his motion and find the following quantities of his motion during this period from starting time to final time a) Map of his motion b) The total distance he runs (233m + 178m= 411m) c) The displacement from starting position to final position. What I have thus far is I got c=sqrt (233)^2+(178)^2=293m. Would I subtract this number from the total distance? Please includes detailed steps of how to solve this
