A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of a=3.00jm/s2 and an initial velocity of vi=5.00im/s. Find (a) the vector position of the particle at any time t, (b) the velocity of the particle at any time t, (c) the coordinates of the particle at t = 2.00 s, and (d) the speed of the particle at t = 2.00 s.
A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent’s goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball’s velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.0 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity relative to himself. If has magnitude 6.0 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?
Miltiadis Tentoglou is the current Olympic gold medalist for the running long jump. In one of Miltiadis’ practices, he insanely attempts to jump five people who are laid out on the ground in single file from head to toe. Each of the five individuals are 1.7 meters in height and when Miltiadis launches off the ground his initial resultant velocity is directed 20 degrees above the horizon and the horizontal component of this resultant velocity is 10 m/s. In executing the jump, Miltiadis’ center of mass drops 0.6 meters vertically from the instant of takeoff to the instant of landing. Calculate Miltiadis’ a) initial and final vertical velocities in m/s, b) initial and final resultant velocity magnitudes in m/s, c) total time in the air in seconds and d) how far he was able to jump horizontally in meters. e) How many centimeters of clearance did Miltiadis have on both sides of the jump when jumping the five individuals (assume the clearance distance is the same on both sides of the…

A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. How long is the ball in the air for, in seconds?
For safety reasons, park rangers decide to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. They fire an artillery shell at an angle of 520 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 295 m/s. Thirty seconds later they see the explosion. What is the x coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to the firing point?
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?
Question 2: #63 In 1780, in what is now referred to as "Brady's Leap," Captain Sam Brady of the U.S. Continental Army escaped certain death from his enemies by running horizontally off the edge of the cliff above Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which is con-fined at that spot to a gorge. He landed safely on the far side of the river. It was reported that he leapt 22 ft across while falling 20 ft. Tall tale, or possible?
