Jill sets out from her home to deliver flyers for her yard sale, traveling due east (+x) along her street lined with houses. After going 500 m she runs out of flyers and has to retrace her steps back to her house to get more. After picking up more flyers, she sets out again on the same path, continuing where she left off, and ends up 1000 m from her house. At this point she turns back toward her house, heading west (-x). After 1750 m she stops to get ice cream (Draw pictures to help with your calculations.)
What is Jill’s total displacement to the point where she stops to get ice cream?
What is Jill’s total distance traveled?
please show work.. thank you
Luis is visiting a public garden that has a large, circular path. When he has walked one-quarter of the distance around the path, the magnitude of his displacement is 180 m. What is the diameter of the path?
I need help with the part that has the red X. Thank you.

Give your answer to the nearest mile.arrow_forwardAjetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 68.2 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 750 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 7.16 m/s.

A snowboarder starts from rest at the top of a double black diamond hill. As she rides down the slope, GPS coordinates are used to determine her displacement as a function of time: x = 0.5t³ + t? + 2t, where x and t are expressed in foot and second, respectively.
