Speed, being a scalar, is dependent upon the scalar quantity, distance. Velocity, being a vector, is dependent upon the vector quantity displacement. Now, can you answer the questions below? 3 km You ran from your house to a friend's house that is 3 km away in 30 minutes. You then immediately walked home, taking 1 hour on your return trip. What was your average speed (in km/hr) for the entire trip? What was your average velocity (in km/hr) for the entire trip?

Please don't reject I req to u solve for me ok. Topic: Vector 1. A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then210 m in a direction east of south, and then 280 m at east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Use a scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. Solve only clean handwriting ok must. that's the only information that was provided
If you want to go by train from Los Angeles to New York, you must make a stop. First, you musttravel 1800 miles East to reach New Orleans. Then you must travel 1300 miles at 45◦ North of Eastto reach New York.(a) Graph the vectors for each segment of the trip and the resulting displacement. Each tick markshould represent 300 miles.(b) If you flew directly from Los Angeles to New York, how far would the flight be? Please show your work
The following problem involves directions in the form of bearing, which we defined in this section. Remember thatbearing is always measured from a north-south line.A boat leaves the harbor entrance and travels 22 miles in the direction N 42◦E. The captain then turns the boat90◦and travels another 19 miles in the direction S 48◦E. At that time, how far is the boat from the harborentrance, and what is the bearing of the boat from the harbor entrance (see the figure below)? (Round youranswers to the nearest whole number.)
Suppose you went for a drive along a long, straight road that runs east-west. Let's define east to be the positive x direction. From your home, you drive east at 30. mi/hr to your friends house for 20. minutes, then at 48 mi/hr east for 10. minutes to the grocery store. Finally, you drive west at 60. mi/hr without stopping to get home. How many minutes will it take to drive from the grocery store to your home (at 60. mi/hr)? Note: Your answer should have the correct number of significant figures
Which of the following statements concerning vectors and scalars is FALSE? OTwo vectors can be added like real numbers only if they have direction. O Component method is used to add vectors with complex directions. O A scalar quantity may either be positive or negative. O Scalar quantities are added regardless its directions.
A trapper walks a 5.0-km straight-line distance from her cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Determine the east and north components of her displacement vector. How many more kilometers would she have to walk if she walked along the component displacements? What is her displacement vector?
Tom Cogwagee Longboat, of the Six Nations of the Grand River, is one of Ontario's best known distance runners. In 1907, he set a new Boston Marathon record, beating all of the previous decade's champions by almost 5 minutes! If he ran the 39.2 km course in 2 hours, 24 minutes and 24 seconds, what was his speed? HINT: we'll need our units to be metres per second - what do you need to convert in the question? 0.221 m/s O 0.272 m/s O 4.52 m/s O 17.5 m/s
According to Timothy Treadwell in 2001 "Now, the bears I live with average, the males are on average twelve hundred pounds. They're the largest bears in the world and they've been clocked at 41 [mph] and they've run a hundred meter dash in 5.85 seconds which human on stimulants doesn't even approach. a. Compute the speed of a grizzly bear using Mr. Treadwell's hundred-meter statement. b. Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in part a. and the average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell. c. How fast would a 250 lb man have to run to have the same momentum you calculated in part b? d. How fast would a 4000 lb car have to drive to have the same momentum you calculated in part b?

Problem 2. Vectors y 0, X Consider a vector E pointed into the second quadrant' of the Cartesian x-y coordinate plane, as pictured above. Consider the vector E pictured above and assume it is meant to represent some physical vector quantity we're studying. Since I've not specified what sort of physical quantity this vector is supposed to represent (perhaps it might be a force vector, a velocity vector, etc.), we'll leave it vague (but also recognize that the numerical values we record for physical quantities typically have units of measurment) and we'll just say that its units are simply called units. Suppose the magnitude, E, of E is given by E = 30.00 units, and suppose the angles drawn in the above figure are given by 0 = 60.00° and ø = 30.00°. (a.) What are the x- and y-components of vector E, pictured above, in terms of the angle 0 and the magnitude E? (b.) For the same vector, what are the x- and y-components in terms of the angle o and the magnitude E? (c.) What would these…
