    I with physics webassign dealing with vectors and force with spring.

    1) I did 16.5/sqrt((6.1^2+4.6^2+6.3^2)(8.2^2+2.3^2+(-7^2))=712.93 arccos(16.5/712.93)= 83.67 is that right?? 2) 49.05 is the acceleration and the final velocity will be 0 so i squared the initial velocity which is 31

    Calculate Horse Motion Problem: Vavg & Velocity

    A horse canters away from its trainer in a straight line, moving 140 m away in 10.0 s. It then turns abruptly and gallops halfway back in 4.9 s. (a) Calculate its average speed. (b) Calculate its average velocity for the entire trip, using "away from the trainer" as the positive direction...
