A softball player hits the ball and starts running toward first base. Draw a motion diagram, using the particle model, showing her velocity vectors during the first few seconds of her run.
The bacterium Escherichia coli (or E. coli) is a single-celled
organism that lives in the gut of healthy humans and
animals. When grown in a uniform medium rich in salts and
amino acids, these bacteria swim along zig-zag paths at a
constant speed of 20 μm/s. The figure shows the
trajectory of an E. coli as it moves from point A to point E.
Each segment of the motion can be identified by two letters,
such as segment BC. (Figure 1)

Ash, being a cruel person that he was, threw a Pokeball to catch another clueless and innocent supernatural animal to be used in a derby-like tournament to death. He launched it at 20m/s and a launch angle of 40 degrees from the horizontal. Determine the horizontal distance of the Pokemon from the Pokeball. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the Pokeball just before it hits the Pokemon?
