Hi please help, I am not sure how to solve this problem.
If you are walking 400m east but then decide to turn back and walk 700m west, all within 10 minutes, what is the total distance that you covered and what is the displacement relative to where you started?
Assume that east is the positive direction
When a projectile is at the top/apex of its motion, how are the velocity, , and acceleration, , vectors related? Explain. What direction is each vector pointed at the apex?
A car initially traveling eastward turns north by traveling in a circular path at uniform speed as shown in above figure. The length of the arc ABC is 235m, and the car completes the turn in 36.0s. (a) What is the acceleration when the car is at B located at an angle of 35.08? Express your answer in terms of the unit vectors i^ and j . Determine (b) the cars average speed and (c) its average acceleration during the 36.0s interval.
