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.

A treasure hunter follows a map moving 25 km [N], 37 km [W 37 degrees S], 63 km [E 65 degrees S] and finally 15 km [N 17 degrees E]. If his average for the entire trip was 45 km/hr, calculate: a. The total time for the trip; and b. The average velocity of the trip
1.A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 258000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 11.65 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 11.65 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take? 2 hr 37 min 1 hr 51 min 6 hr 9 min 3 hr 5 min 2. An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 47000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 1.18 s.

5. You wake up in a strange room, with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. though there is a window on the floor, and you can see that you're in a rocket that has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 5.31 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.27 m, it hits the floor 0.290 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? 48.7 m/s^2 63.8 m/s^2 56.3 m/s^2 82.8 m/s^2
4. You wake up in a strange room, with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. you drop a ball from a height of 1.12 m and it hits the floor 0.191 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be? 71.2 m/s^2 61.4 m/s^2 98.0 m/s^2 51.6 m/s^2
3. A bee flies in a straight line (a "beeline" as they say). The initial speed of the bee is Vo = 100 cm/s. The acceleration of the bee versus position is given by the graph below. a [cm/s²] 500 0 -250 50 105 145 195 s [cm] a. At what position will the speed of the bee be maximum? Hint: it will be one of the labeled points: 0cm, 50cm, 105cm, 145cm or 195cm. b. What is the speed of the bee at that location? C. What is the speed of the bee after traveling the full 195cm? Hints: you don't need to figure the equations for the four lines to do the integrals, and be careful of the signs.
1. a 100kg astronaut (including the space suit) becomes untethered during a space walk and drifts to a distance of 10m from the mother ship. To get back to the ship, he throws his 2.5kg tool kit away with an acceleration of 8.0ms-1 that acts over 0.50s. a) How does throwing the tool kit away help the astronaut in the situation? b) How large is the fact that acts on the tool kit and the astronaut? c) With that speed will the astronaut drift to the mother ship? d) How long will it take for the astronaut to reach the ship?
