You are riding on a Jet Ski at an angle of 35° upstream on
a river flowing with a speed of 2.8 m/s.
Part A
If your velocity relative to the ground is 9.5 m/s at an angle of 20.0° upstream, what is the speed of the Jet Ski relative to the water? (Note: Angles are measured relative to the z axis shown in (Figure 1).)

You are on the planet Neptune and want to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Be sure to describe the variables you would measure, the equations you would use and the assumptions you would make.
Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label the unknown and known quantities with units, coordinate system in your answer.

The heights of a rock after t seconds, when propelled straight up with an initial speed of 80 feet per
second from an initial height of 20 feet, can be modeled by the function s(t) = -16t² + 80t +20.
When will the height of the rock be 50 feet? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.
