I throw a ball straight up in the air. It travels straight up 2 meters and then straight back down where I catch it at the same height it was released from. The distance the ball has traveled is meters. The displacement of the ball is meters. (use the proper number of sig figs in your answer given the provided information).

Mr. Brown takes a walk in the park. He first travels 600. m NW and then turns and walks 800. m @ 20.0° WoS. What is his overall displacement of his walk? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer, I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 771 m @ 25.1° SoW Thanks!!
This is a multipart question Consider the following position vector. If the distance units are in meters and the time units are in seconds, what are the units on the number 20 and the number 42? ?⃑ = 20??̂− 42? 2 ?̂ - Continuing with the position vector from the previous problem, what would the new position vector be if the origin were changed from (0, 0) to (3, 4)? - What is the velocity vector for the position vector in the previous problem? Did you have to choose the first (before changing the origin) or the second position vector (after changing the origin) to answer this question? Why? -What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity vector you determined in question 4 at t = 4 s?
