1. Jerry is standing on the edge of the roof of a building. He tosses a ball to his friend Tom who is standing on the ground. The ball followed the equation s(t) = - t2 + 6t + 18 for its path. If the ball had reached the highest peak 3.5 seconds after Jerry had thrown it, and Tom was able to catch the ball 9 seconds after it was released, determine the height of the building from the ground.

A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.50 m at 16.0 from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in Figure P3.16. Find the components of its maximum displacement (a) parallel to the surface and (b) perpendicular to the surface. Figure P3.16
A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m). (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P3.46. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure P3.46

I took 2.28km and converted it to 2280 meters then divided by 3200 and ended up with .71m/s but it keeps saying that its incorrect. Im not sure where I keep messing up. John walks 1.80 kmkm north, then turns right and walks 1.40 kmkm east. His speed is 1.60 m/sm/sduring the entire stroll. What is the magnitude of his displacement, from beginning to end? (2.28) If Jane starts at the same time and place as John, but walks in a straight line to the endpoint of John's stroll, at what speed should she walk if she wants to arrive at the endpoint just when John does?

I am having trouble with a 3d motion problem. The problem is as follosw, "At t = 0, a particle moving in the xy plane with constant acceleration has a velocity of i = (3.00 i - 2.00 j) m/s and is at the origin. At t = 2.00 s, the particle's velocity is = (7.00 i + 8.20 j) m/s. (Use the following as necessary: t. Round your coefficients to two decimal places.)" The problem asks me to find acceleration of the particle at any time t and to find its coordinates at any time t. Thanks for the help
1. A pilot in a small plane encounters shifting winds. He flies 26.0 kmkm northeast, then 45.0 kmkm due north. From this point, he flies an additional distance in an unknown direction, only to find himself at a small airstrip that his map shows to be 70.0 kmkm directly north of his starting point. What was the length of the third leg of his trip? What was the direction of the third leg of his trip? 2. A boat can travel 7.3 m/s in still water. It is crossing a 220 m wide river while pointed due east and the river is flowing at 3.7 m/s, north. What is the speed of the boat, relative to the shore? How long does it take to cross the river? How far downstream does the boat end up? 3. A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 14 m/sm/s . A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 15 m/sm/s relative to the…
