B1 traveled South for 5.20 km, then 2.17 km

Northward, then 4.80 km West. B2 took the
shortcut, having the same starting and ending
points as B1. Find:
start
a) B1s distance traveled B2
b) B1s displacement B1
end
c) B2s distance traveled
d) B2s displacement

a) B1s distance traveled
= 5.20 km + 2.17 km + 4.80 km = 12.17 km

b) B1s displacement
= (5.20 km) j + (+2.17 km) j + (4.80 km) i
= (4.80 km) i + (3.03 km) j = 5.676 km , 212.3 o cc fro m E
c) B2s distance traveled
= magnitude of shortcut ( B1 ' s displacement ) = 5.676 km

d) B2s displacement
= B1 ' s displacement

A football was thrown straight up from the
rooftop of a 20.0 m building. If it stopped 2.50
sec
moving upward after 2.50 s:
a) What was its initial speed?
2
v 0 = v f at = 0 (9.81 m/ s )(2.50 s)
= 24.525 m/s
b) How much time will it take, from being
thrown up to returning to the thrower?
v f v 0 (24.525 m/ s )(+24.525 m/ s )
(i) t = = 2
= 5.000 s
a 9.81 m/s
(ii) t total = t up + t down = 2t up = 5.000 s
