tons) and rests at a coal mine site. The
boulder is blown up with explosives into 3
parts, all the 3 parts move horizontally in the
xy plane. The biggest part (mass 3.3 t)
travels west at a speed of 3m/s. The second
part (mass 2.7t) moves at 2m/s in a direction
25.0 degrees south of east. What is the
speed and direction of the third boulder part?
A long measuring stick rests against the wall in a physics laboratory with its 200-cm end at the floor. A cockroach lands on its 100-cm mark and crawls randomly along the stick. It first walks 15 cm toward the floor, then it walks 56 cm toward the wall, then it walks 3 cm towards the floor again. Then, after a brief stop, it continues for 25 cm toward the floor and then, again, it crawls up 19 cm toward the wall before coming to a complete rest. Find the vector of its total displacement and its final resting position on the stick.

- The space probe Deep Space 1 was launched on October 24, 1998. Its mass was 474 kg. The goal of the mission was to test a new kind of engine called an ion propulsion drive. This engine generated only a weak thrust, but it could do so over long periods of time with the consumption of only small amounts of fuel. The mission was spectacularly successful.
