The velocitics of the two vehicles are as follows: Vcc = velocity of the Car relative to the Ground = +12 m/s VBG = vclocity of the Bus relative to the Ground = +16 m/s A passenger on the bus gets up and walks toward the front of the bus with a velocity of Vr. where Vpn = velocity of the Passenger relative to the Bus = +2 m/s.

(a) +2 m/s + 16 m/s + 12 m/s = +30 m/s (b) -2 m/s + 16 m/s + 12 m/s = +26 m/s (c) +2 m/s + 16 m/s 12 m/s = +6 m/s %3D (d) -2 m/s + 16 m/s – 12 m/s = +2 m/s

One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. Then, while your opponent is watching that snowball, you throw a second one at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 25.0 m/s. The first is thrown at an angle of 70.0 with respect to the horizontal. (a) At what angle should the second snowball be thrown to arrive at the same point as the first? (b) How many seconds later should the second snowball be thrown after the first for both to arrive at the same time?
An ice hockey player is moving at 8.00 m/s when he hits the puck toward the goal. The speed of the puck relative to the player is 29.0 m/s. The line between the center of the goal and the player makes a 90.0° angle relative to his path as shown in Figure 3.65. What angle must the puck's velocity make relative to the player (in his frame of reference) to hit the center of the goal?
(a) Use the distance and velocity data in Figure 3.64 to find the rate of expansion as a function of distance. (b) If you extrapolate back in time, how long ago would all of the galaxies have been at approximately the same position? The two parts of this problem give you some idea of how the Hubble constant for universal expansion and the time back to the Big Bang are determined, respectively. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.
The Sun produces energy at a rate of 4.001026 W by the fusion of hydrogen. (a) How many kilograms of hydrogen undergo fusion each second? (b) If the Sun is 90.0% hydrogen and half of this can undergo fusion before the Sun changes character, how long could it produce energy at its current rate? (c) How many kilograms of mass is the Sun losing per second? (d) What fraction of its mass will it have lost in the time found in part (b)?
If the ball could continue to travel below it’s original level (through an appropriately shaped hole in the ground), then negative values of y corresponding to times greater than 6.04s would be possible. Compare the balls position and velocity 8.00s after the start of its flight. (Answers c =178m. Y= 76.8m, Vx= 22.2m/s, Vy= -48.8m/s Both images have background information to help solve the practice problem. (The correct answer is also provided) just need help with working it out.
Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a beach, and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use, however, is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the beach below with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher and he knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is about ?0=33.7 m/s.v0=33.7 m/s. Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball (with no way to measure the ball's initial trajectory), and watches carefully. The ball rises and then falls, and after ?1=0.710 st1=0.710 s the ball is once again level with Bob. Bob cannot see well enough to time when the ball hits the ground. Bob's friend then measures that the ball landed ?=124 mx=124 m from the base of the cliff. How high up is Bob, if the ball started exactly 2 m above the edge of the cliff?
