A squirrel scurries 5.0 m [S] in 1.0 s, then 10.0 m [N] in 3.0 s. The squirrel's average velocity was 1.3 m/s 1.25 m/s 3.75 m/s 3.8 m/s [N] [S] [S of N] [N of S] For this question, down will be the negative direction and up will be the positive direction. A base jumper jumps from the top of a skyscraper. Before she pulls her parachute cord, she freefalls for 5.0 s. Her velocity bef she pulls the parachute cord is m/s. Answer to the correct number of significant digits. A car is travelling -15.0 m/s and slams on the brakes for a red light. Its stopping distance was 5.50 m so its acceleration was m/s2
