You have exactly 7 minutes 39 seconds to get to your next class on time and that classroom is 135 m east of where you are right now. First you run to your dorm room at an average velocity of 5.02 m/s to the south to pick up your calculator and your dorm room is 447 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?1.26 m/s1.27 m/s1.02 m/s5.02 m/s

- The velocity of the wind relative to the water is crucial to sailboats. Suppose a sailboat is in an ocean current that has a velocity of 2.1 m/s in a direction 27° east of north relative to the Earth. It encounters a wind that has a velocity of 4.4 m/s in a direction of 49° south of west relative to the Earth. 1. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the wind relative to the water, in meters per second? 2. What is the angle of the velocity of the wind relative to the water degrees south of west?arrow_forwardYou have two stones in your hands, and you are standing on a bridge. You throw the first stone with a velocity of 8.00 m/s upward. One second later, you let drop the second stone.

- Hello. I am working on a problem with motion. The questions asks me to calculate the maximum height (h1), total time (t2), and speed of a ball right before it hits the ground. The question states that A person is throwing a ball upward into the air with an initial speed Vo = 10m/s. Assume that the instant when the ball is released, the person's hand is at a height ho = 1.5m. The speed of the ball at its peak height is zero, and the question needs to be solved in ascending part and descending part. I don't understand how to solve for the maximum height. What is the correct formula to use and why? For other questions like this, I will be able to solve them if I know the formulas for the ascending of the ball and the descent of the ball as well as the explanation. Thank you. For the sake of the question, the ball is being thrown straight up.arrow_forwardA truck, stolen by Dora the Explorer is initially stopped 10.0 m from the base of a building. Peppa pig is 22.0 m above the ground on the balcony of her office building. The truck begins to accelerate towards the building. One second after the truck moves, Peppa pig jumps off the balcony. Peppa pig, in an attempt to stop Dora the Explorer, times her fall perfectly and lands on the truck, which is 3.0 meters above the ground. What was the acceleration of the truck and its final velocity (assume constant acceleration)?arrow_forward14. You are running north at 5.90ms. Let’s call you Jogger A. Jogger B is currently ahead of you and is also jogging north at 1.88ms. From your frame of reference, what is the speed and direction of Jogger B?Assume that north is in the positive direction and south is in the negative direction. −4.02ms −7.41ms −1.29ms −5.47ms None of these is correct.arrow_forward
- 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.

You are in your fifth-floor room and your window is 25 m above the sidewalk outside. You look outside and see that each balloon hits the pavement 1.5 s after passing your window. Express answers using 2 significant figures. a) How fast are the balloons traveling when they pass your window? b) Assuming the balloons are being released from rest, from what height above your window are they being released? c) If you threw a balloon upwards from your window with an initial speed of 6.5 m/s, would you be able to get it to the roof?arrow_forward
