Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 44GP

Problems 39 through 45 are motion problems similar to those you will learn to solve in Chapter 2. For now, simply interpret the problem by drawing a motion diagram showing the object's position and its velocity vectors. Do not solve these problems or do any mathematics.

44. A ball rolls along a smooth horizontal floor at 10 m/s, then starts up a 20° ramp. How high does it go before rolling back down?

To get to his office from home, Greg walks 5 blocks north and then 3 blocks east. After work he meets some friends at a café; to get there he walks 2 blocks south and 5 blocks west. All blocks are 660 feet long. What is the straight-line distance from the café to his home?
I need help with this practice problem. I was given the answer key but I need help solving it step by step.  A car drives North for 1 km. Then it turns and drives 2 km at 30◦ South of West.Finally the driver turns again and drives 0.5 km Northwest.(a) What is the total distance driven?(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the car’s overall displacement? Answer Key: a.) 3.5 km b.) .11 km, 9.55◦
How do I solve this problem? I don't know what equations to use either.
