Question
You have exactly 5 minutes 42 seconds to get to your next class on time and that classroom is 352 m east of where you are right now. First you run to your dorm room at an average velocity of 5.43 m/s to the south to pick up your calculator and your dorm room is 266 m south of where you were initially. What average velocity (magnitude only) do you now need to run from your dorm room to your classroom to arrive exactly on time?

- Johnny comes across a river that is 252 meters wide. He sees that the water flows eastward with a uniform velocity of 1.10m/s. Johnny sees his friend Sarah start her boat at point A on the south bank and start to cross the river to point B which is on the other side. Suppose the trip takes 3 minutes. Figure out the velocity of sarah's boat with respect to a) Johnny who is stationary on the ground b) A floating goose that's moving with the water.

The object hits the ground 8.0 seconds later. Using 9.80 m/s2 for the local acceleration due to gravity, how much higher or lower (in m) is the launch point relative to the point where the projectile hits the ground?arrow_forward
- You have exactly 3 minutes 20 seconds to get to your next class on time and that classroom is 472 m east of where you are right now. First you run to your dorm room at an average velocity of 5.34 m/s to the south to pick up your calculator and your dorm room is 350 m south of where you were initially. What average velocity (magnitude only) do you now need to run from your dorm room to your classroom to arrive exactly on time?arrow_forwardA space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 17.8 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.280 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 33.6 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction.arrow_forwardA rocket is fired from the ground at some angle and travels in a straight path. When the rocket has traveled 465 yards it is 315 yards above the ground. At what angle (in degrees) was the rocket fired?arrow_forward
- A drowsy cat is looking at a window from across the room, and sees a flowerpot that sail first up and then down past the window. The pot is in view for a total of 0.54 s, and the top-to-bottom height of the window is 1.86 m. How high above the window top does the flowerpot go?arrow_forwardA space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 24.6 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.201 m/s² in the +x direction. After 47.8 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station.
