7. starting at -7m a person walks in the negative direction for 8 m then turns around and walks 20m in the positive direction. Where is his final position?
What was his overall displacement? How much distance did he travel?
8. We will soon define speed as the amount of distance traveled in a given time
period, and velocity as the amount of displacement in a given time period.
Below, discuss how these two quantities can be very different from each other in
certain situations. Also, can they ever have the same value? Provide support for
your answer in the form of an example.

Thomas his older brothers, who own a junk yard, on the weekends to earn extra money. he likes to them push broken-down cars to the back of the junk yard because it makes him feel strong. last saturday, they pushed three cars with different weights, and he noticed he used different amounts of force for each one. the cars were the following weights: white car: 2,700 kg red car: 1,500 kg blue car: 2,100 kg think about how much force is needed to move each car. which correctly lists the cars in order from the most to least amount of force needed to move them? a) white, blue, red b) blue, red, white c) red, white, blue d) white, red, blue

(a) assume the equation x = at^3 + bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. determine the dimensions of the constants a and b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.) (b) determine the dimensions of the derivative dx/dt = 3at^2 + b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.)
