A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00c north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0 west of north from Atlanta. Figure P3.18 shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. Figure P3.18
A roller coaster moves 2.00 102 ft horizontally and then rises 135 ft at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. Next, it travels 135 ft at an angle of 40.0 below the horizontal. Use graphical techniques to find the roller coasters displacement from its starting point to the end of this movement.

Determine which of the following moving objects obey the equations of projectile motion developed in this topic. (a) A ball is thrown in an arbitrary direction. (b) A jet airplane crosses the sky with its engines thrusting the plane forward. (c) A rocket leaves the launch pad. (d) A rocket moves through the sky after its engines have failed. (e) A stone is thrown under water.
A roller coaster moves 200 ft horizontally and then rises 135 ft at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. Next, it travels 135 ft at an angle of 40.0 below the horizontal. Use graphical techniques to find the roller coaster's displacement from its starting point to the end of this movement.
A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his forks handle and rapidly depressing the curved tines, launching the pea to heights above the dining room table. Suppose the pea is launched at 8.25 m/s at an angle of 75.0 above the table. With what speed does the pea strike the ceiling 2.00 in above the table?
A ball rolls in a straight line along the horizontal direction. Using motion diagrams (or multi flash photo-graphs), describe the velocity and acceleration of the ball for each of the following situations: (a) The ball moves to the right at a constant speed, (b) The ball moves from right to left and continually slows down, (c) The ball moves from right to left and continually speeds up. (d) The ball moves to the right, first speeding up at a constant rate and then slowing down at a constant rate.
The velocity of the wind relative to the water is crucial to sailboats. Suppose a sailboat is in an ocean current that has a velocity of 2.20 m/s in a direction 30.0° east of north relative to the Earth. It encounters a wind that has a velocity of 4.50 m/s in a direction of 50.0° south of west relative to the Earth. What is the velocity of the wind relative to the water?
Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20° west of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B, as in Figure 3.56, then this problem finds their sum R=A+B. )
Suppose a pilot flies 40.0 km in a direction 60° north of east and then flies 30.0 km in a direction 150° north of east as shown in Figure 3.63. Find her total distance R from the starting point and the direction of the straight-line path to the final position. Discuss qualitatively how this flight would be altered by a wind from the north and how the effect of the wind would depend on both wind speed and the speed of the plane relative to the air mass.
A football receiver running straight downfield at 5.50 m/s is 10.0 m in front of the quarterback when a pass is thrown downfield at 25.0 above the horizon (Fig. P3.58). If the receiver never changes speed and the ball is caught at the same height from which it was thrown, find (a) the footballs initial speed, (b) the amount of time the football spends in the air, and (c) the distance between the quarterback and the receiver when the catch is made. Figure P3.58
You fly 32.0 km in a straight line in still air in the direction 35.0° south of west. (a) Find the distances you would have to fly straight south and then straight west to arrive at the same point. (This determination is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the south and west directions.) (b) Find the distances you would have to fly first in a direction 45.0° south of west and then in a direction 45.0° west of north. These are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes—one rotated 450°.
