Chapter 4, Problem 127P
A frightened rabbit moving at 6.00 m/s due east runs onto a large area of level ice of negligible friction. As the rabbit slides across the ice, the force of the wind causes it to have a constant acceleration of 1.40 m/s2, due north. Choose a coordinate system with the origin at the rabbit’s initial position on the ice and the positive x axis directed toward the east. In unit-vector notation, what are the rabbit’s (a) velocity and (b) position when it has slid for 3.00 s?

An object has an initial velocity of 29.0 m/s at 95.0° and an acceleration of 1.90 m/s2
at 200.0°. Assume that all angles are measured with respect to the positive x-axis.
(a) Write the initial velocity vector and the acceleration vector in unit vector notation.
(b) If the object maintains this acceleration for 12.0 seconds, determine the average
velocity vector over the time interval. Express your answer in your unit vector
notation.
As it passes over Grand Bahama Island, the eye of a hurricane is moving in a direction 63.0° north of west with a speed of 40.2 km/h. (Let i represent
east and j represent north.)
(a) What is the unit-vector expression for the velocity of the hurricane?
km/h i+
km/hi
It maintains this velocity for 3.50 h, at which time the course of the hurricane suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to a constant 25.2 km/h.
This new velocity is maintained for 1.50 h.
(b) What is the unit-vector expression for the new velocity of the hurricane?
km/h j
km/h i+

I have no idea to how to start to this question: Wags (a dog) decides to go on a journey. He begins his journey by traveling 58 meters in a direction directly south. He then runs 100.0 meters in a direction 30◦north of west. During the last leg of his journey, he follows a scent for 59 meters in a direction 30◦east of north. What distance does Wags end up from his initial startingpoint?
