A car starts at the easternmost point of the ring and drives for 15 minutes at this speed.a. What distance, in km, does the car travel?b. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement, in km, from its initial position?c. What is the speed of the car in m/s?
A driver needs to make a delivery to an office that is 30 km away. The driver has traveled for 45 minutes west down a straight road at 50 km/h. a. Has the driver traveled far enough to reach the office? Support your response.
b. Assume the driver has gone far enough and is traveling on the correct road. If he has not yet seen the business, what should he do to make the delivery? Explain your reasoning.
