A car travels due east with a speed of 40.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth. The traces of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 44.0° with the vertical. Find the velocity of the rain with respect to the above reference frames.

A passenger walks from one side of a ferry to the other as it approaches a dock. If the passenger's velocity is 1.5 m/s due north relative to the ferry, and 4.5 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees west of north relative to the water, what are the magnitude and direction of the ferry's velocity relative to the water?
A stone is catapulted at time t = 0, with an initial velocity of magnitude 20.5 m/s and at an angle of 40.2° above the horizontal. What are the magnitudes of the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of its displacement from the catapult site at t = 1.13 s? Repeat for the (c) horizontal and (d) vertical components at t = 1.77 s, and for the (e) horizontal and (f) vertical components at t = 5.47 s. Assume that the catapult is positioned on a plain horizontal ground.

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?
A projectile is given an initial velocity of 44.7 m/s at an angle of 58.8 degrees with respect to the horizontal. How far has it moved in the x-direction at the time when its speed in the y-direction is 11.2 m/s?
A projectile was fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 20 m/s. The same projectile was fired a second time with the sane initial speed of 20 m/s but at a different angle such that the height attained by the projectile in the second launch is one half of the horizontal distance covered by the projectile in the first launch. At what angle was the projectile launched second time?
A cannon is fired over level ground at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. The initial velocity at this angle is 80 m/s, but this velocity may be separated into a vertical velocity component of 40 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 69.3 m/s. How far does the cannonball travel horizontally?
A field biologist is studying the migration patterns of northern gannets (a type of seabird). On one particularday, she records that they fly 5.0 km northeast, then turn toward to the south of east by 30 degrees and fly 4.0 kmin the new direction. How far north or south of their original position are the birds?
