A seagull flies at a velocity of 7.5 m/s relative to the air straight into the wind. vSA = 7.5 m/s t = 23 min d = 6.8 km If it takes the bird 23 min to travel 6.8 km relative to the Earth, what is the velocity of the wind, in meters per second, relative to the Earth? Take the direction of travel of the seagull to be positive. If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long, in minutes, will it take to return 6.8 km?

Two soccer players, Mia and Alice, are running as Alice passes the ball to Mia. Mia is running due north with a speed of 6.20 m/sm/s. The velocity of the ball relative to Mia is 4.80 m/sm/s in a direction 30.0∘∘ east of south.
A student begins at rest and then walks north at a speed of v1 = 0.55 m/s. The student then turns south and walks at a speed of v2 = 0.53 m/s. Take north to be the positive direction. If the student travels in the stated directions for 30.0 seconds at speed v1 and for 20.0 seconds at speed v2, what is the net displacement, in meters, during the trip? If it takes the student 5.0 s to reach the speed v1 from rest, what is the magnitude of the student’s average acceleration, in meters per second squared, during that time?
