A team of professional thieves wants to knock down a castle wall using a primitive explosive. At their headquarters, they determine that the explosive has a mass of 40.0 kg and will break into three pieces: a 20.0 kg piece will go exactly east, a 10.0 kg piece will go exactly south, and a 10.0 kg piece will go somewhere. Find the speed and direction of the third piece of the explosive.

A roller-coaster car moves 200 ft horizontally and then rises 135 ft at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. It next travels 135 ft at an angle of 40.0° downward. What is its displacement from its starting point?
One morning, Connie walks from her house to go to a store that is 500 ft, S 40o W from her house. She starts walking 120 ft, SW; then continues walking 100 ft, 10o S of E; then sees a friend who is 700 ft, 30o N of E from where she is. What is her friend’s location, (magnitude and direction) relative to her house? (Ans. 667.54 ft, 21.79o N of E) From her friend’s location, how far and in what direction should Connie walk to finally get to the store? (Ans. 1133.08 ft, 33.83o S of W)

In a rope-climbing competition, all of the lifting is done by the arms; legs can only dangle. Imagine 220-lb Garvin Smith in training, hanging stationary from the rope, his legs off the floor. When prompted by his coach, he rapidly lifts his center of mass by 4 ft. in 0.65 s. Calculate Garvin Smith's acceleration. Round the final answer to one decimal place. Determine the net force (“force imbalance”) producing the acceleration. Round the final answer to one decimal place. Which forces are acting on Smith? (Note that his arms are part of himself, so they cannot exert a force on Smith.) With what magnitude force is Smith pulling down on the rope? Round the final answer to one decimal place. The force of 130.2 lb points _____.

Your friend's car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 20.70° below the horizontal. The brakes fail, and the car rolls from rest down the incline for a distance of 29.10 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 69.5 m above the ocean, and, unfortunately, continues over the edge and lands in the ocean. Find the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean. (Round the final answer to two decimal places. Include a minus sign if necessary.) in meters
