5. Superman is flying at an initial velocity of 33.5 m/s [N] when he decides to slow to 10.0 m/s [N] in a time of 8.05 s. He then continues at this velocity for 12.4 s before accelerating at 2.35 m/s² [N] until he reaches a final velocity of 23.8 m/s [N]. a) Calculate Superman's displacement in this time. (Hint: This motion has three unique parts) b) Calculate Superman's average velocity for his entire flight.

3.) You throw a ball straight up. The ball leaves your hand at a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s (~45 mph). Ignore air resistance and use g = 10.0 m/s2 to answer the following questions. You can use a spreadsheet but show your sample calculations. 3a.) Calculate the height, y(t), and velocity, vy(t), at 0.50 second intervals until the ball hits the ground. Show your results in a table and put the units in the column headers: t (s), vy (m/s), y (m). 3b.) Use this data to draw a motion diagram for the ball at 0.50 second intervals. Label the height and the speed at each time interval. Label the origin, starting height, maximum height, and final height. Include the velocity vectors for each time and location of the ball. 3c.) Calculate the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground and the final velocity of the ball just as it hits the ground. Include this velocity vector in your diagram.
