PRACTICE 3: Terry the Tyranosaur is chasing iguanodons across the vast plains of the Jurassic Period. He chases the herd 2km north, 5km east, 3 km north, 3 km west, and 6km south. It took him 2 hrs to complete his hunt. (HINT!!!! Remember that there are 1000m in a km!!!) 1. What was Steve's total distance in meters traveled at the end of the trip? 2. What was Steve's total displacement in meters (include direction!!)? Draw the vectors!!! 3. What was Steve's average Speed in m/s? 4. What was Steve's average Velocity in m/s?
