In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin in the nest and extend the to the release point, what was the birds average velocity in (a) for the return flig

Problem 61P a. Your goal in laboratory is to launch a ball of mass m straight up so that it reaches exactly height h above the top of the launching lube. You and your lab partners will earn fewer points if the ball goes too high or too low. The launch tube uses compressed air to accelerate the ball
