Suppose your hair grows at the rate of 1/34 inch per day. Find the rate at which it grows in nanometers per second. Because the distance between atoms in a molecule is on the order of 0.1 nm, your answer suggests how rapidly atoms are assembled in this protein synthesis.
A caterpillar's speed decreases from 0.50cm/s to 0.25cm/s at a rate of -0.04cm/s2 as it climbs a leaf. How quickly does the caterpillar undergo metamorphosis?
The velocity of a toy car moving along as straight path is shown in the figure. Match the numbers according to the graph. Assume the numbers in the choices are followed by proper units (not shown), i.e., distance in [m], speed or velocity in [m/s], and acceleration in [m/s^2].
High-speed motion pictures (3500 frames/second) of a jumping 230 μg flea yielded the data to plot the flea's acceleration as a function of time as shown in the figure ( Figure 1). (See "The Flying Leap of the Flea," by M. Rothschild et al. in the November 1973 Scientific American.) This flea was about 2 mm long and jumped at a nearly vertical takeoff angle.

I need help making a graph for this
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.
