A car is traveling west at 17.5 m/s when it turns due north and accelerates to 32.5 m/s, all during a time of 4.00 s. Calculate the magnitude of the car's average acceleration (in m/s2).
You drive a beat-up pickup truck along a straight road for 8.4 km at 70 km/h, at which point the truck runs out of gasoline and stops. Over the next 30 min, you walk another 2.0 km farther along the road to a gasoline station. (a) What is your overall displacement from the beginning of your drive to your arrival at the station?
