Super Mario is preparing to jump into a pipe. During motion analysis of his awesome pipe jumping abilities, just prior to his jump, he has flexed his knee. Coordinates of his legs were measured. His hip point is at (3,8), his knee is at (9,4), and his ankle is at (7,-1). The coordinates are measured in cm. a) how long is his thigh? b) how long is his shank (lower leg)? c) What is the angle of his knee joint?
You receive orders to sail due east for 28.2 mi to put your salvage ship directly over a sunken pirate ship. However, when your divers
probe the ocean floor at that location and find no evidence of a ship, you radio back to your source of information, only to discover
that the sailing distance was supposed to be 28.2 nautical miles, not regular miles. Use the Length table below to calculate how far
horizontally you are from the pirate ship.
A stone is dropped into a well. The sound of the splash is heard 5.16 s later. What is the depth of the well? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

- When the Earth passes a planet such as Mars, the planet appears to move backward for a time, a phenomenon known as retrograde motion. Ancient astronomers believed that the Earth did not move and that the planets moved around the Earth. They also believed that uniform circular motion was perfect and that heavenly objects such as planets exhibited this perfect motion. How do you suppose ancient astronomers accounted for retrograde motion?

- At t = 0 an object starts from the origin and moves with a constant acceleration of a = (-4.72-1.4))m/s² on a horizontal surface. If the initial velocity of the object is v = (18.82 - 19.67)m/s, determine the magnitude of velocity at t = 5s. Express your answer in units of m/s using zero decimal places.
