Question
In the latest Indian Jones film, Indy is supposed to throw a grenade from his car, which is going 99.0 km/h , to his enemy's car, which is going 115 km/h . The enemy's car is 17.0 m in front of the Indy's when he lets go of the grenade.
A
If Indy throws the grenade so its initial velocity relative to him is at an angle of 45 ∘ above the horizontal, what should the magnitude of the initial velocity be? The cars are both traveling in the same direction on a level road. You can ignore air resistance.
B
Find the magnitude of the velocity relative to the earth.

- r The speed of a boat in still water is V. A river flows with a speed of v₁. The boat travels distance of 14 miles downstream in a river in 1 hour. However, the return journey takes 2 hours. Calculate the V and V₁. Hint: Velocity = displacement/time. Displacement can be positive of neagtive depending on the direction. You will first need to set up the equations by taking into account the resultant velocity of the boat in flowing water. Consider the direction the river is flowing to be positive. Set up two equations, one for the downstream journey and one for the upstream journey, in terms of "V" and "v": Do V" and "v, add or substract downstream to give the resultant downstream velocity? Do v" and "v, add or substract upstream togive the resultant upstream velocity? Use the upstream direction as negative. The resultant upstream velocity should be negative.
