Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 14CQ
If someone is riding in the back of a pickup thick and throws a softball straight backward, is it possible for the ball to fall straight down as viewed by a person standing at the side of the road? Under what condition would this occur? How would the motion of the ball appear to the person who threw it?

Two children, one at the front of a parade float and one at the back, are playing catch with a ball. Each sees the other as tossing the ball at 4.0 m/s. The float moves down the road at 2.0 m/s. At what speed do the two children toss the ball from the point of view of a spectator watching the float move by?

In tennis, one of the primary ways to win a point is by
making the ball bounce twice on your opponent's side of
the court. A tennis player hits a ball at a velocity of 50
m/s at a 0 degree angle from 1m high. When the ball
bounces it reflects its velocity angle perfectly and loses
30% of its speed.
How long does the other player have to return the ball
before the second bounce?

- Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both dogs sprint away in different directions while Daniel stands still. From Daniel's point of view, Newton runs due North at 4.65 m/s, but from Pauli's point of view, Newton appears to be moving at 2.10 m/s due East. What must Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel be for this to be true? Express your answer in terms of the x- and y-components if North is the +y-direction and East is the +x-direction. x-component: m/s Y-component: m/s Express your answer as a magnitude and an angle measured counter-clockwise from due East. magnitude & direction: at a angle counter-clockwise from due Eastarrow_forwardAn athlete crosses a 29 m wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 1.1 m/s relative to the water.
