A rabbit is moving in the positive x - direction at 2.00 m/swhen it spots a predator and accelerates to a velocity of12.0 m/s along the negative y - axis, all in 1.50 s. Determine(a) the x - component and (b) the y - component of the rabbit’sacceleration.
Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 3.45 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realizes that she left in such a hurry that she forgot her lunch of bagels, so he runs to the window of their apartment, which is a height 36.4 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw them to her. Bruce throws them horizontally at a time 7.00 s after Henrietta has passed below the window, and she catches them on the run. You can ignore air resistance. With what initial speed must Bruce throw the bagels so Henrietta can catch them just before they hit the ground? Where is Henrietta when she catches the bagels?

A blue car of length 4.52 m is moving north on a roadway (hat intersects another perpendicular roadway (Fig. P2.81, page 58). The width of the intersection from near edge to far edge is 28.0 m. The blue car has a constant acceleration of magnitude 2.10 m/s2 directed south. The time interval required for the nose of the blue car to move from the near (south) edge of the intersection to the north edge of the intersection is 3.10 s. (a) How far is the nose of the blue car from the south edge of the intersection when it stops? (b) For what time interval is any part of the blue car within the boundaries of the intersection? (c) A red car is at rest on the perpendicular intersecting roadway. As the nose of the blue car enters the intersection, the red car starts from rest and accelerates east at 5.60 m/s2. What is the minimum distance from the near (west) edge of the intersection at which the nose of the red car can begin its motion if it is to enter the intersection alter the blue car has entirely left the intersection? (d) II the red car begins its motion at the position given by the answer to pan (c), with what speed does it enter the intersection?
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).
