George walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his velocity in meters per second? Also, is the acceleration due to gravity negative or positive or it depends? I'm really confused. Please help and explain in an easy to understand.
A car starts from 2.0 m/s and accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s. How far has it traveled, in meters? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
Question 1 A physics student walks 1 km east, then 1 km north, then 1 km west, and finally 1 km south. What total distance did the physics student travel? O O km O 1 km O 2 km O 4 km
A bird flies 3.50 km [East] and then immediately turns around and flies 7.50 km [West]. The bird's average speed for the entire motion is 11.0 km/h. What is the bird's average velocity. Give your answer in km/h to 2 decimal places. A velocity that is west should be treated as negative and a negative sign should be included in your answer. A velocity that is east should be treated as positive but no sign should be included in the answer. Do not include units in your answer.
