Chapter 3, Problem 22E
A car drives north at 40 mi/h for 10 min, then turns east and goes 5.0 mi at 60 mi/h. Finally, it goes southwest at 30 mi/h for 6.0 min. Determine the car’s (a) displacement and (b) average velocity for this trip.

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.48 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.55 km with an average velocity of 2.75 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.513 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 640 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position?Your answer is______mi;
A jetliner, travelling northward, is landing with a speed of 69 m/ s. Once the jet touches down, it has 750 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 6.1 m/ s. Compute the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing.
