Need full detailed answers for the following questions. Answers are given but need the steps/proccess.
A cyclist rides 3 km west and then turns around and rides 2 km east. (a) What is her displacement? (b) What distance does she ride? (c) What is the magnitude of her displacement?
Solutions:
(a) The rider’s displacement is Δx = xf − xo=-1 km. (The displacement is negative because we take east to be positive and west to be negative.)
(b) The distance traveled is 3 km + 2 km = 5 km.
(c) The magnitude of the displacement is 1 km.
An individual at the edge of a cliff drops a ball meanwhile another human at the base of a cliff throws a ball straight upward. When the 2 balls meet, the one thrown from the base of the cliff is descending. Sketch the y versus t graph showing the motion of the balls please.

- If a steel ball is tossed from the top of the Berj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world, its height above the ground t seconds after it is dropped will be s(t) = 2717 − 16t2 feet (neglecting air resistance). How long (in s) will it take to reach the ground? [Hint: Find when the height equals zero.] (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ____s (b) Use your answer to part (a) to find the velocity (in ft/s) with which it will strike the ground.
