You and a friend work in buildings four equal-length blocks apart, and you plan to meet for lunch. Your friend strolls leisurely at 1.2 m/s, while you like a brisker pace of 1.6 m/s. Knowing this, you pick a restaurant between the two buildings at which you and your friend will arrive at the same instant if both of you leave your respective buildings at the same instant. In blocks, how far from your building is the restaurant? ••

Your roommate drops a tennis ball from a third-story balcony. It hits the sidewalk and bounces as high as the second story. Draw a motion diagram, using the particle model, showing the ball’s velocity vectors from the time it is released until it reaches the maximum height on its bounce.
the cat is being chased by a dog; they are running at 6m/s when they encounter a wall. The cat bounces off the wall and runs at 4m/s in the opposite direction, The cat is in contact with wall for only 0.05 seconds. What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of Steve while in contact with the wall?
On the x-axis, a particle is accelerated from 6m and from 4m/s to 8m/s for a total time of 3 seconds, t = 3 seconds a. Find its final position, its displacement at t= 3 seconds b. Determine its final velocity and the distance traveled at t = 8 seconds.
You know that your friend's car starts at Linden at 1:30 pm and finally arrives at UG at 2:15 pm, but you don't know the route that your friend took. (It is not necessarily the shortest nor the most efficient route and it may have included stops, detours, or side trips.) The straight-line length ("as birds fly") between Linden and UG is 4.71 km, but the car's final odometer reading shows that the car travelled a total distance of 10.50 km from start to finish. What is was the average speed of the car in km/h? (round your answer to two decimal places; DO NOT include units)
A shopper uses the 55-meter long walkalator that goes at 1.5 m/s from the meat section to the vegetable section of a supermarket. If the shopper walks at 1.25 m/s in the same direction as the walkalator, how long will it take her to reach the vegetable section?
In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.14 m. The mug slides off the counter and strikes the floor 0.80 m from the base of the counter. With what velocity did the mug leave the counter? What was the direction of the mug's velocity just before it hit the floor?
A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car at some distance behind the truck. The truck has constant acceleration of 0.6 m/s^2, and the car has an acceleration of 0.8 m/s^2. They were side by side after 10 seconds. How far is the car behind the truck initially? What are their velocity when they are side by side?
You were playing POP POP crackers with your neighbor's kids. To show off your speed, you threw a POP POP cracker at an initial speed of 7.0 m/s downward. The height above ground where you let go of the cracker was about 1.0 m. The cracker popped upon impact with the ground. How long did the kids have between the throw (you let go of the cracker at its initial speed) and the pop (the cracker impacts the ground) to cover their ears and scream? You can assume the final position to be zero. The cracker has negligible amount of air drag. Hint: the cracker has a downward initial velocity. Please include enough significant figures (3 sig. figs.) to ensure your answer is within 5% of the correct answer.
You and your family drive to California for a well deserved vacation. You leave Houston at 4:00 am on Friday, drive straight though the night, and arrive in San Diego at 5:00 am the next day. If the distance between Houston and San Diego is 1900 kilometers, what was your average velocity on the drive? (Ignore the time zone change)
