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

(b) How much time (in sec) elapses from when the rock is thrown until it hits the street?
Chapter 02, Problem 10 In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.26 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.62 km with an average velocity of 2.54 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.381 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)? dw VE West East dɛ Number Units the tolerance is +/-2% Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work
