A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m). (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P3.46. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure P3.46
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

A student sees her physical science professor approaching on the sidewalk that runs by her dorm. She gets a water balloon and waits. When the professor is 2.0 s from being directly under her window 11 m above the sidewalk, she drops the balloon. You finish the story.
50 40- 30 20 10- -10 10 20 30 10 You are a lifeguard and spot a drowning child 30 meters along the shore and 50 meters from the shore to the child. You run along the shore for a while and then jump into the water and swim from there directly to child. You can run at a rate of 3 meters per second and swim at a rate of 1.2 meters per second. How far along the shore should you run before jumping into the water in order to save the child? Round your answer to the hundredths decimal places.
1.A conductor in a train travelling at 4.0 m/s (N) walks across the train at 1.2 m/s (E) to validate a ticket. If the trian car is 4.0m wide, how long does it take the conductor to reach the other side? vog=? vom 1.2 m/s(E) (1.2/4.2) vmg= 4.0 m/s(N) vog 4.2m/s(N17E) Ad At = Δυ At = 3.3s vom=5m/s(W) vmg=11m/s(S = 12m/s = vog vom+vmg -5m/s (W)+ 11m/s(S) = sqrt (5m/s)^2+ (1m/s)^2 sin 90 12m/s 4.0m/s 1.2m/s 2. A jetski speeds across a river at 11 m/s relative to the water. The jet ski's heading is South. The river is flowing West at 5m/s. Determine the jet ski's velocity relative to the shore. vog=? = vog vom+vmg sin 0 5m/s = 1.2m/s(E) + 4.0m/s(N) =sqrt (1.2m/s)^2 + (4.0m/s)^2 =4.2 m/s = 24° Therefore the answer is 12m/s (S24W) Tan-1= = 17
1. Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100. m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a speed of 2.0 m/s. Their dog, Spot, starts by Arthur's side at the same time and runs back and forth between them at 5.0 m/s. By the time Arthur and Betty meet, what distance has Spot run?
You are driving at 48 km/h and see the red light 0.32 km ahead. You slam on the brakes and able to stop right at the light. Ignoring response time, what is the acceleration of the car? Taking forward direction positive. O-0.28 m/s² O 0.36 m/s² O 0.28 m/s² O-0.36 m/s² O-1.0 m/s²
1. A car starting from rest picks up at a uniform rate and passes three electric posts in succession. The posts are spaced 340 m apart along a straight road. The car takes 10 seconds from 1" post to 2 post and 6 seconds from 2d post to 3" post. Compute for the following: a. Acceleration of the car in m/s b. Velocity of the car as it reaches the first post. e. Distance from the starting point to the first point.
Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100. m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a speed of 2.0 m/s. Their dog, Spot, starts from Arthur's side at the same time and runs back and forth between them. By the time Arthur and Betty meet, what is Spot's displacement?
A man 1.5 m tall walks towards a lamp post 3.05 m high at a speed of 1.05 m/s. how fast does his shadow shorten in m/s?
Two buses start at the same time towards each other from terminals A and B, 8 km apart. The time needed for the first bus to travel from A to B is 8 minutes and of the second bus B to A is 10 minutes. How much time is needed by each bus to meet each other if they traveled at their respective uniform speeds. In what distance from A, in meters, the bus will meet?
A car leaves city A and goes to city B at 45 km / h.20 minutes later another car leaves city B and heads towards city A at 37 km / h, on the same road. How far apart are they from each other when they are 3 minutes away from each other?
