A gnat takes off from one end of a pencil and flies around erratically for 3 s, seats on a wall for 2.4 s, and continues flying for the next 1.1 seconds before landing on the other end of the same pencil. If the gnat flew a total distance of 2.6 m, and the pencil is 9 cm long, find the magnitude of the gnat's average velocity. Answer units
George, the absent-minded professor, drives his car 5.0 miles due east alonga straight road to the grocery store. Upon arriving there 15 minutes (0.25 h) after he left home, he suddenly realizes he forgot his grocery list. He immediately turns around and heads back towards home. After travelling 6.8 miles due west in 12 minutes (0.20 h), the car runs out of gas. What is his average speed during the not-quite-completed trip?
A rocket-powered sled moves along a track, eventually reaching a top speed of 247 m/s to the west. It then begins to slow down, reaching a complete stop after slowing down for 3.92 s. What was the sled s average acceleration and velocity during the slowdown phase? 0 m/s^2 0, 123.5 m/s west 63.0 m/s^2 west, not enough information 123.5 m/s^2 east, 123.5 m/s east 63.0 m/s^2 east, not enough information

A car is traveling with a constant speed along a road that has a form of a square. The car starts at the beginning of one side of the square and covers two and a half sides. The speed of the car is 50 miles / hour. What is its average velocity? Please provide step by step & clear solution!
A car traveling at 35.0 km/h speeds up to 43.0 km/h in a time of 8.00 s. The same car later speeds up from 65.0 km/h to 73.0 km/h in a time of 8.00 s. Let the +x direction point in the direction the car is traveling. Calculate the magnitude a₁ of the constant acceleration for the first time interval. Determine the distance d₁ traveled by the car during the first time interval. Calculate the magnitude a2 of the constant acceleration for the second time interval. Determine the distance de traveled by the car during the second time interval. a₁ = d₁ = a₂ = d₂ = m/s² m m/s² m
Cities A and B are connected by a straight road of total length 200 miles.Two cars depart cities A and B at the same time, moving towards each other. The A-car travels at 60 miles per hour, and the B-car at 40 mph. At the same time, a fly starts off from the front bumper of the A-car flying at 100 mph. It flies towards city B until it touches the bumper of the B-car, and then flies back, touches the A-car, flies back, etc, until the cars collide and the fly is squashed. The standard trick question is - what is the total distance traveled by the fly? At first sight one would think that the problem should be solved by the series summation, but that’s not necessary - the cars meet after 2 hours, and during that time the fly traveling at 100 mph covers exactly 200 miles. Now that you know the answer, solve this problem using the series summation [1].

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.71 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 16.7 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. impact speed: m/s How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: S
