The car moves horizontally with a constant speed of 3.50 m/s relative to observer 2 standing on the sidewalk. (a) What is the speed of the ball 1.00 s after it is released, as measured by observer 2? (b) What is the direction of travel of the ball 1.00 s after it is released, as measured relative to the horizontal by observer 2?

You encounter a moving walkway that is 81 m long and has a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground.
How long would it take you to cover the 81 m length of the walkway if, once you get on the walkway, you immediately turn around and start walking in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.6 m/s relative to the walkway?
Express your answer using one significant figure.
Your friend is standing at the balcony of a building which is H meter high from the ground while
you are standing at the parking lot situated at the ground level. Now you realize that you got the
wrong keys of your car so you decided to throw the wrong keys to your friend and ask her to
drop the original keys. She dropped the keys and at the same instant you threw the keys
straight up with a speed of u. Determine the height at which both sets of keys cross each other.
Take H=160 m,u=40 m/s and g=10 m/s^2
from two towns d = 24 km apart. Josh rode at Vj = 25 km/h, and Mike at um = 15 km/h. The moment they start, a fly also starts from Josh towards Mike and after reaching Mike, immediately returns towards Josh. The fly continues back and forth motion between the cyclists till the cyclists meet. Air speed of fly is Uf = 30 km/h and the wind blows always towards Mike with a constant velocity u = 10 km/h. Find the total distance s flown by the fly.
