You are on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in the Magic kingdom at Disney World. Your boat rules through a pirate battle, in which cannons on a ship and in a fort are firing at each other. While you are aware that the splashes in the water do not represent actual cannonballs, you begin to wonder about such battles in the days of the pirates. Suppose the fort and the ship are separated by 75.0 m. You sec that the cannons in the fort are aimed so that their cannonballs would be fired horizontally from a height of 7.00 m above the water. (a) You wonder at what speed they must be fired in order to hit the ship before falling in the water. (b) Then, you think about the sludge that must build up inside the barrel of a cannon. This sludge should slow down the cannonballs. A question occurs in your mind: if the cannonballs can be fired at only 50.0% of the speed found earlier, is it possible to fire them upward at some angle to the horizontal so that they would reach the ship?

A stunt coordinator is designing a boat chase where two boats drive towards each other at a high speed. On camera it will look like they will crash, but they will safely miss each other. At the moment they meet, an explosion will be set off so that it appears as if they burst into a ball of fire putting the survival of our Adventuresome Hero is doubt. The stunt coordinator needs to know precisely when and where the boats will pass so that everything appears on screen as written in the script. Our Adventuresome Hero is in a boat moving at 12 m/s, his Worthy Adversary races towards him in a boat traveling at 17 m/s. Initially, the boats are separated by 97 m of open water. Lights! Camera! Action! They race towards each other... The two boats will pass each other after -------seconds have elapsed. Our Adventuresome Hero will travel --------meters before they meet. His Worthy Adversary will travel-------- meters before they meet.

When salmon head upstream to spawn, they may encounter a waterfall. If the water is not moving too fast, the salmon can swim right up through the falling water. Otherwise, the salmon jump out of the water to get to a place in the waterfall where the water is not falling so fast. When humans build dams that interrupt the usual route followed by the salmon, artificial fish ladders must be built. They consist of a series of small waterfalls with still pools of water in between them (see the photo). Suppose the salmon can swim at 5.40 m/s with respect to the water. a.)What is the maximum height of the waterfall up which the salmon can swim without having to jump? b.)If a waterfall is 1.99 m high, how high must the salmon jump to get to water through which it can swim? Assume that they jump straight up. c.)If a waterfall is 1.99 m high, what initial speed must a salmon have to jump the height to get to water through which it can swim? Assume that they jump straight up.

Water in a river flows with a component downstream (x-direction) of 6 m/s and a component across the stream (y-direction) of 4 m/s. A boat is attempting to cross the river. The velocity of the boat relative to the water is 20 m/s at an angle of 70 degrees with respect to the x-axis. Determine the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.
