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?
Problem 1
Perform the following unit conversions:
a) 65 miles per hour to meters per second (hint: 1 mile = 1609 meters)
b) 25 seconds to centuries
c) 560 L to m3 (hint: 1 mL = 1 cm3)

- In 1780, in what is now referred to as "Brady's Leap," Captain Sam Brady of the U.S. Continental Army escaped certain death from his enemies by running over the edge of the cliff above Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which is confined at that spot to a gorge. He landed safely on the far side of the river. It was reported that he leapt 22 ft across while falling 20 ft. (Figure 1) A. Representing the horizontal distance jumped as L and the vertical drop as h , as shown in the figure, derive an expression for the minimum speed v he would need to make his leap if he ran straight off the cliff. Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and appropriate constants. B. Evaluate your expression for a 22 ft jump with a 20 ft drop to the other side. C.
