A frightened rabbit moving at 6.00 m/s due east runs onto a large area of level ice of negligible friction. As the rabbit slides across the ice, the force of the wind causes it to have a constant acceleration of 1.40 m/s2, due north. Choose a coordinate system with the origin at the rabbit’s initial position on the ice and the positive x axis directed toward the east. In unit-vector notation, what are the rabbit’s (a) velocity and (b) position when it has slid for 3.00 s?

A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. ( m/s) + ( m/s) At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = ? m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = ? m/s2. The time needed to reach maximum height is t = ? s. The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = ? m.
