A seagull flies at a velocity of 11.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) If it takes the bird 19.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative to the earth, what is the velocity of the wind? m/s (b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long will he take to return 6.00 km? (c) Discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.

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?
If a driver is initially going 35.5m/s to the left and then slams on the brakes to accelerate at a magnitude of 3.8m/s/s until she comes to a complete stop. If she started applying her brakes at a position of 102m from zero, then where is her final position from zero?
A ball is thrown into the air at 60° angle to the ground, takes a parabolic path, and is in the air for a total time of 4 s. If the upward direction from the ground is positive, what is the best estimate of the ball’s velocity at a time 3 s after it leaves the ground?
A swimmer travels at 0.8 m/s heading south across a small lake. At the same time, a second swimmer heads north from the opposite shore at a speed of 0.4 m/s. How wide is the lake if the two swimmers meet 12 min later?
A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
Landing with a speed of 71.4 m>s, and traveling due south, ajet comes to rest in 949 m. Assuming the jet slows with constantacceleration, find the magnitude and direction of its acceleration
A peregrine falcon can fly at a velocity of 83.3 m/s in still air. If it takes the peregrine 17 min to travel 9.00 km straight into an oncoming wind, what is the velocity of the wind? If the peregrine flies along with the wind, how long will it take for it to travel 9.00 km?
A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other on a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s^2. Is there a collision? If so, what is the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train? If not, what is the separation between the trains when they stop?
