The operator of a boat wishes to cross a 5-km wide river that is flowing to the east at 10 m/s. He wants to reach the exact point on the opposite shore 15 min after starting. With what speed and in what direction should the boat travel?
A person walks up a stalled 15-m-long escalator in 90 s. When standing on the same escalator, now moving, the person is carried up in 60 s. How much time would it take that person to walk up the moving escalator? Does the answer depend on the length of the escalator?
You are a construction worker standing still on 12th Ave N in Fargo, and you watch a minivan drive past at 25 mi/hr eastward. A kid in the back throws a ball at his brother in the front seat at 19 mi/hr. How fast does the ball move, as observed by you? (Positive indicates east, negative indicates west.) ? How fast does the ball move, according to the kid who threw it? If instead the kid in the front seat throws a rock at the kid in the back seat at 19 mi/hr, how fast would you observe the rock to travel?
An athlete crosses a 29 m wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 1.1 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance 35m downstream from his starting point. How fast is the water in the river flowing with respect to the ground in m/s?
To start an avalanche on a mountain, an artillery shell is fired from 1250 m from the base of the mountain at 300 m/s, 55.0°. What are its coordinates 9.0 seconds later? Where does it hit on the mountain? If you are unable to answer, draw a diagram showing why.
Ship A is sailing due south at 16 mi/h, and ship B, 32 miles south of A, is sailing due east at 12 mi/h. At what rate are they approaching or separating (a) at the end of 1 h, and (b) at the end of 2 h?
A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, h, in feet, t seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
