i hate physics. someone want to answer these for me? :]?

0.25 m/s East
0.25 m/s West
0.5 m/s East

A quarterback takes the ball from the line of scrimmage and runs backward for 10 m. He then runs sideways, parallel to the line of scrimmage for 15 m. Next, he throws the ball forward 50 m, perpendicular to the line of scrimmage. The receiver is tackled immediately. How far is the football displaced from its original position?
43 m
225 m
1,600 m
1,825 m
A duck waddles 2.5 m east and 6.0 m north. What are the magnitude and direction of the duck’s displacement with respect to its original position?
6.0 m at 50° north of east
42.25 m at 67° north of east
6.5 m at 23° north of east
6.5 m at 67° north of east
A fox sees a piece of carrion being thrown from a hawk’s nest and rushes to snatch it. The nest is 14.0 m high, and the carrion is thrown with a horizontal velocity of 1.5 m/s. The fox is 7.0 m from the base of the tree. What is the magnitude of the fox’s average velocity if it grabs the carrion in its mouth just as it touches the ground?
(Assume no air resistance and that ay = g = 9.81 m/s2.)
1.7 m/s
3.5 m/s
4.2 m/s
2.6 m/s
A cat pushes a ball from a 7.00 m high window, giving it a horizontal velocity of 0.20 m/s. How far from the base of the building does the ball land? (Assume no air resistance and that ay = g = 9.81 m/s2.)
0.24 m

A model rocket flies horizontally off the edge of a cliff at a velocity of 50.0 m/s. If the canyon below is 100.0 m deep, how far from the edge of the cliff does the model rocket land? (Assume no air resistance and that ay = g = 9.81 m/s2.)

245 m
350 m
526 m
A boat moves at 10.00 m/s relative to the water. If the boat is in a river where the current is 2.00 m/s, how long does it take the boat to make a complete round trip of 1,000.0 m upstream followed by 1,000.0 m downstream?
83 s
125 s
200 s
208 s
A person is strolling along a moving walkway at a constant velocity of +1.00 m/s with respect to the walkway, which moves at a constant velocity of +0.50 m/s with respect to the ground. An observer on the ground is walking at a constant velocity of -0.2 m/s. What is the velocity of the person on the walkway with respect to the observer on the ground?
– 0.7 m/s
+ 1.3 m/s
– 0.3 m/s
+ 1.7 m/s

rocket launching problems?
a model rocket is lanched with an initial velocity of 180 ft per second. it’s height h, in feet, after t seconds is given….
h=180t – 16t^2….
how many seconds will the rocket first reach a height of 464 feet?
also, after how many seconds from launching will the rocket again be at that same height of 464 ft?
I really don’t know what “det” is…I really want to know how to do this…so if anyone could walk me through this step by step please…

what is det?
you lost me at det=45^2-4(4)(116)=169
by the way…the answers are in the book, we are not required to show our work, but I would still like to know how to do it.

Quadratic Max. Height question * please help me asap *?
A model rocket is launched straight upward with an initial velocity of 22m/s. The height of the rocket , h, in metres, can be modelled by h(t)= -5t²+22t , where t is the elapsed time in seconds. What is the maximum height the rocket reaches?
Helppp me please! I cannot remember how to do this question and it is bothering me very much! Plus, it’s on my math summitive so basically I’m screwed if I can’t find a solution!
YAY 
Thanks guys!
You’re right

Please Help Algebra 1!!!!?
the formula h = -16t^2 + vt models the height of a model rocket, where h is the height in meters, t is the time in seconds and v is the initial vertical velocity of 80 meters per second, will the rocket ever reach a height of 88 meters? justify you answer.
