3. The drawing in Figure 3 (a) shows a triple jump on a checkerboard, starting at the center
of square A and ending on the center of square B. Each side of a square measures 4.0 cm.
The triple jump can be represented with displacement two perpendicular vectors J and K
as shown in Figure 3 (b). What is the magnitude of the displacement of the colored
checker during the triple jump? [25 cm]

4. Two cars travel in the same direction along a straight highway, one at a constant speed of
55 km/h and the other at 70 km/h. (a) Assuming they start at the same point, how much
sooner does the faster car arrive at a destination 10 km away? (b) How far must the faster
car travel before it has a 15-min lead on the slower car? [(a) 2.3 min, (b) 64 km]
5. Two motorcycles are traveling due east with different velocities. However, four seconds
later, they have the same velocity. During this four-second interval, cycle A has an
average acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 due east, while cycle B has an average acceleration of
4.0 m/s2 due east. By how much did the speeds differ at the beginning of the four-second
interval, and which motorcycle was moving faster? [8.0 m/s, A]
6. A rock is dropped from rest. When will its displacement be 18.0 m below the point of
release? What is its velocity when its displacement is 18.0 m below the point of release?
[1.92 s, -18.8 m/s]
7. A baseball is hit nearly straight up into the air with a speed of 22 m/s. (a) How high does
it go? (b) How long is it in the air? [25 m, 4.5 s]
8. The graph in figure shows the velocity of a motorcycle police
officer plotted as a function of time. (a) Find the instantaneous
acceleration at t = 3 s, at t = 7 s, and at t = 11 s. (b) How far does
the officer go in the first 5 s? The first 9 s? The first 13 s? [(a) 0,
6.3 m/s2, -11.3 m/s2, (b) 100 m, 230 m, 320 m]
9. A marble is released from one rim of a hemispherica1 bowl of diameter 50.0 cm and rolls
down and up to the opposite rim in 10.0 s. Find (a) the average speed and (b) the average
velocity of the marble. [(a) 7.8510-2 m/s, (b) 5.0010-2 m/s]
10. A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed u. At the same instant, a second
ball is dropped from rest from a height H, directly above the point where the first ball was
thrown upward. There is no air resistance. (a) Find the time at which the two balls collide.
(b) Find the value of H in terms of u and g so that at the instant when the balls collide, the
first ball is at the highest point of its motion. [(a) t = H/u, (b) H = u2/g]
