In many old Western movies, a bandit is knocked back 3 m after being shot by a sheriff. Which statement best describes what happened to the sheriff after he fired his gun? He was knocked forward slightly. He remained in the same position. He was pushed upward. He was knocked back a step or two. He was knocked back approximately 3 m.

A boat running at its top speed takes 3.0 hours to travel 12 km down a river. It then takes 5.0 hours to return to its starting place. What is the velocity of the river? (Answer should look like '0.35 km/h'. I know bad units.)
A rabbit hops 25 meters to the East, turns North and walks 12 meters, turns West and hops 25 meters, and finally turns south and scampers 12 meters. What is the TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED and what is the TOTAL DISPLACEMENT? Total Distance is 0 meters & the Total Displacement is 74 meters. Total Distance is 74 meters & the Total Displacement is 0 meters. Total Distance is 25 meters & the Total Displacement is 24 meters to the east. Total Distance is 15 meters to the west & the Total Displacement is 24 meters to the east. None of the above.
Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the most iconic cars ever as it was featured as a Batmobile in the third installment of Batman Trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. If it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds, what is its rate of change in velocity per unit time? (1 mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers)
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10° to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 500 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
A badger looking for food travels 8.0 km [S], 3.0 km [E], 5.0 km [S], 9.0 km [N], then 3.0 km [W]. What is the badger's total displacement?
As a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. One complaint concerns a stop sign at the corner of Pine Street and 1st Street. Residents complain that the speed limit in the area (89 km/h) is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. Under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility can reduce to only 47 meters. Because fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate. The state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.842 and 0.941, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.550 and 0.754. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small cars with a mass of 531 kg to large trucks with a mass of 3463 kg. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and…
