A jetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 60.4 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 732 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 6.88 m/s. Compute the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing (take the direction of the plane's motion as positive).

Car A is traveling on a highway at a constant speed. Initial velocity A = 80 mi/h and is 380 ft from the entrance of an on-ramp when car B enters the acceleration lane at that point at a speedInitial speed B = 20.0 mi/h. Car B accelerates uniformly and enters the main traffic lane after traveling 290 ft in 3.3 s. It then continues to accelerate at the same rate until it reaches a speed of 80 mi/h, which it maintains. Determine the final distance between the two cars (in ft).
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.17 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.57 km with an average velocity of 2.53 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.425 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
