Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs downfield at 45 with respect to the 50-yard line and covers 8.0 m in 1 s. He then fins straight down the field at 90 with respect to the 50-yard line for 12 m, with an elapsed time of 1.2 s. (a) What is Matthews’ final displacement from the start of the play? (b) What is his average velocity?
A train leaving Albuquerque travels 293 miles, due east, to Amarillo. The train spends a couple of days at the station in Amarillo and then heads back west 107 miles where it stops in Tucumcari. Suppose the positive x direction points to the east and Albuquerque is at the origin of this axis. a. What is the total distance traveled by the train from Albuquerque to Tucumcari? b. What is the displacement of the train for the entire journey? Give both answers in appropriate SI units.

George runs the football 40 yards downfield before he is tackled. The straight line distance between where he began the run and where he was tackled is 18 yards and makes a 25 degree angle with the right sideline. a. What was George's distance traveled in yards? b. What was George's resultant displacement in yards? PIck answer BELOW a. distance = 58yds, displacement = 18yds b. distance = 40yds, displacement = 22yds c. distance = 40 yds, displacement = 18yds d. distance = 18yds, displacement = 40yds
