The direction of applied force has to be to the distance in order to say work is done

Ajogger accelerates from rest to 4.86 m/s in 2.43 s. a car accelerates from 20.6 to 32.7 m/s also in 2.43 s. (a) find the magnitude of the acceleration of the jogger. (b) determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the car. (c) how much further does the car travel than the jogger during the 2.43 s?

The focal length of a relaxed human eye is approximately 1.7 cm. when we focus our eyes on a close up object, we can change the refractive power of the eye by about 16 diopters. (a) does the refractive power of our eyes increase or decrease by 16 diopters when we focus closely? explain. (b) calculate the focal length of the eye when we focus closely.

Aparticle moves in the xy plane with constant acceleration. at time zero, the particle is at x = 6 m, y = 8.5 m, and has velocity ~vo = (9 m/s) ˆı + (−2.5 m/s) ˆ . the acceleration is given by ~a = (4.5 m/s 2 ) ˆı + (3 m/s 2 ) ˆ . what is the x component of velocity after 3.5 s? answer in units of m/s.
