While scavenging for acorns before the big winter, Scrat the Squirrel leaves his tree house and skitters along 8.00 m at a heading of 40.0° SoE to collect two acorns. Then, he traipses off 10.0 m West to snag another acorn. Finally, he sees a big prize and hurriedly rushes 12.0 m at 20.0° EoN. If he must now make it back to his tree house, how far and in what direction should he head to go home? I know the answer I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 6.14 m @ 87.8° NoE Thanks!!
3. A building is 46.0 m tall. A jealous boyfriend wishes to drop a tomato from the top of the building onto the head of his girlfriend’s suitor, who is 1.80 m and walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. How many meters should the suitor be from the position below the tomato when it is dropped? With complete solution

A stuntman sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The constant speed of the horse is 10.0 m/s, and the man is initially 3.00 m above the level of the saddle. (a) What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and the limb when the man makes his move? (b) How long is he in the air?
If you know the position vectors of a particle at two points along its path and also know the time interval during which it moved from one point to the other, can you determine the particles instantaneous velocity? Its average velocity? Explain.
To start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 55.0 above the horizontal. It explodes on the mountainside 42.0 s after firing. What are the x and y coordinates of the shell where it explodes. relative to its firing point?
An object that is thrown straight up falls back to Earth. This is one-dimensional motion. (a) When is its velocity zero? (b) Does its velocity change direction? (c) Does the acceleration clue to gravity have the same sign on the way up as on the way clown?
In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?
A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?
An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (a) How long after release of the first stone do the two stones hit the water?
A child, who is L = 41 m from the bank of a river, is being carried helplessly downstream by the river's swift current of 1.0 m/s. As the child passes a lifeguard on the river's bank, the lifeguard starts swimming in a straight line until she reaches the child at a point downstream. a.) If the lifeguard can swim at a speed of 2.0 m/s relative to the water, how long does it take her to reach the child? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. b.)How far downstream does the lifeguard intercept the child? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A football player catches a pass 49 m from the end zone and runs down the sideline at vp = 5.6 m/s. A defending player directly across on the other sideline, 53.3 yd (48.8 m) away, runs to intercept. If the defending player runs in a straight line, with what minimum speed (in m/s) must they run to intercept the player before reaching the end zone?
