5. A dog walks at 1.6 m/s on the deck of a boat that is traveliing north at 7.6 m/s with respect tothe water.(a) What is the velocity of the dog with respect to the water if it walks towards the bow?(b) What is the velocity of the dog with respect to the water if it walks towards the stern?(c) What is the velocity of the dog with respect to the water if it walks towards the east rail, atright angles to the boat's keel?

a) Vdb = Vdw - Vbw Vdw = Vdb + Vbw = 1.6+7.6 = 9.2 m/s b) Vdw = Vdb + Vbw = -1.6+7.6 = 6 m/s…

Professional baseball player Nolan Ryan could pitch a baseball at approximately 160.0 km/h. At that average velocity, how long did it take a ball thrown by Ryan to reach home plate, which is 18.4 m from the pitcher’s mound? Compare this with the average reaction time of a human to a visual stimulus, which is 0.25 s.
A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 12.0 m/s inside a bus moving at 9.0 m/s. What is the velocity of the ball as observed by a man standing on the street?
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?

A student see's her physical professor approaching on the side walk that runs by her dorm , She gets a water ballon and waits. When the professor is 2.0s from being directly under the window about 11m from the sidewalk , she drops the balloon what happens?
Two boat landings are 3.0 km apart on the same bank of a stream that flows at 2.3 km/h. A motorboat makes the round trip between the two landings in 50 minutes. What is the speed ? of the boat relative to the water?
Agent Bond is standing on a bridge, 15 m above the roadbelow, and his pursuers are getting too close for comfort.He spots a flatbed truck approaching at 25m/s which hemeasures by knowing that the telephone poles the truck ispassing are 25 m apart in this region. The roof of the truckis 3.5 m above the road, and Bond quickly calculates howmany poles away the truck should be when he drops downfrom the bridge onto the truck, making his getaway. Howmany poles is it?
A ship is on course for The Netherlands, heading North at 7.00 m/s. The ocean current is moving at 1.50 m/s in a direction of 40.0 degrees NE. What is the resultant velocity of the ship, and it's resultant direction?
The engineer of a passenger train traveling at25.0 m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on thesame track . The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in thesame direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passengertrain immediately applies the brakes, causing a constant accelerationof 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to the train’s velocity, while thefreight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the locationof the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes.(a) Will the cows nearby witness a collision? (b) If so, where will it takeplace? (c) On a single graph, sketch the positions of the front of the passengertrain and the back of the freight train.
