If an object is located 20m to the right of the origin at 1:00 PM, and later the object is located 30 m to the left of the origin at 2:00 PM, then the displacement from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM is what?
An athlete crosses a 25-m-wide river by swimmingperpendicular to the water current at a speed of 0.5 m/srelative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at adistance 40 m downstream from his starting point. How fast isthe water in the river flowing with respect to the ground? Whatis the speed of the swimmer with respect to a friend at rest onthe ground?

To decide who pays for lunch, a passengeron a moving train tosses a coin straight upward with an initialspeed of 5.25 m>s and catches it again when it returns to its initial level. From the point of view of the passenger, then, the coin’sinitial velocity is 15.25 m>s 2yn . The train’s velocity relative to theground is 112.1 m>s2xn . (a) What is the minimum speed of the coinrelative to the ground during its flight? At what point in the coin’sflight does this minimum speed occur? Explain. (b) Find the initial speed and direction of the coin as seen by an observer on theground. (c) Use the expression for ymax derived in Example 4-14 tocalculate the maximum height of the coin, as seen by an observeron the ground. (d) What is the maximum height of the coin fromthe point of view of the passenger, who sees only one-dimensionalmotion?
