16. The drawing shows two cars traveling in different directions with different speeds. Their velocities are: VaG = velocity of car A relative to the Ground = 27.0 m/s, due east VaG = velocity of car B relative to the Ground = 21.0 m/s, due north The passenger of car B looks out the window and sees car A. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of car A as observed by the passenger of car B? In other words, what is the velocity Van of car A relative to car B? Give the directional angle of Van with respect to due east. North BG Car B East Car A

The drawing shows two cars traveling in different directions with different speeds. Their velocities are: vAG = velocity of car A relative to the Ground = 32.4 m/s, due eastvBG = velocity of car B relative to the Ground = 21.0 m/s, due northThe driver of car B looks out the window and sees car A. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of car A as observed by the driver of car B? In other words, what is the velocity vAB of car A relative to car B?
Two cars, one going due West at the rate of 100 km/hr and the other goingNorth at the rate of 70 km/hr, are traveling toward the intersection of the tworoads. At what rate are the cars approaching each other at the instant when thefirst car is0.3 km and the second car is 0.2 km from the intersection?
You are a construction worker standing still on 12th Ave N in Fargo, and you watch a minivan drive past at 25 mi/hr eastward. A kid in the back throws a ball at his brother in the front seat at 19 mi/hr. How fast does the ball move, as observed by you? (Positive indicates east, negative indicates west.) ? How fast does the ball move, according to the kid who threw it? If instead the kid in the front seat throws a rock at the kid in the back seat at 19 mi/hr, how fast would you observe the rock to travel?
An explorer in Antarctica leaves his shelter during a whiteout. He takes 50 m northeast, next 180 m at 72° north of west, and then 150 m due south. Save the explorer from becoming hopelessly lost by giving him the displacement, calculated by using the method of components, that will return him to his shelter. Given x-component (w/ sign direction) y-component (w/ sign direction) A = 50 m NE 35.355 m 35.355 m B = 180 m 72o NW -55.623 m 171.190 m C = 150 m S 0 m -150 m Resultant What is the resultant of both x-component and y-component.
As she picks up her riders, a bus driver traverses four successive displacements represented by the expression (6.30 b)i (4.00 b cos 40)i (4.00 b sin 40)j + (3.00 b cos 50)i (3.00 b sin 50)j (5.00 b)j Here b represents one city block, a convenient unit of distance of uniform size; i is east; and j is north. The displacements at 40 and 50 represent travel on roadways in the city that are at these angles to the main east-west and north-south streets, (a) Draw a map of the successive displacements, (b) What total distance did she travel? (c) Compute the magnitude and direction of her total displacement. The logical structure of this problem and of several problems in later chapters was suggested by Alan Van Heuvelen and David Maloney, American Journal of Physics 67(3) 252-256, March 1999.
To start an avalanche on a mountain, an artillery shell is fired from 1250 m from the base of the mountain at 300 m/s, 55.0°. What are its coordinates 9.0 seconds later? Where does it hit on the mountain? If you are unable to answer, draw a diagram showing why.
A cruise ship sails due north at 4.50 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 45.0º north of west at 5.20 m/s. What are (a) the x- and (b) y-components of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat?
A rabbit runs across a parking lot on which a set of the coordinate axis has been drawn. The coordinates of the rabbit’s position as a function of time t are given by: x = -0.3t2 + 5t + 28 and y = 0.22t2 - 8t + 30 with t in seconds and x and y in meters. What is the velocity at t= 10 sec?

A miniature quadcopter is located at xi = −2.50 m and yi = 2.70 m at t = 0 and moves with an average velocity having components vav, x = 1.70 m/s and vav, y = −2.50 m/s. What are the x-coordinate and y-coordinate (in m) of the quadcopter's position at t = 3.10 s?
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 12 m/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 16 m/s relative to the air, in what direction should they head in order to move directly south?
Ship A is sailing due south at 16 mi/h, and ship B, 32 miles south of A, is sailing due east at 12 mi/h. At what rate are they approaching or separating (a) at the end of 1 h, and (b) at the end of 2 h?
