A train travels due south at 32 m/s (relative to the ground) in a rain that is blown toward the south by the wind. The path of each raindrop makes an angle of 65° with the vertical, as measured by an observer stationary on the ground. An observer on the train, however, sees the drops fall perfectly vertically. Determine the speed of the raindrops relative to the ground. Number i Units

(a) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but for the second leg you walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° north of east (which is equivalent to subtracting B from A that is, to finding R=AB ). (b) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but now you first walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 12.0 m in a direction 20.0° east of south (which is equivalent to subtracting A from B that is, to finding R=BA=R ). Show that this is the case.
A boy stands at the edge of a bridge above a river. In both of the following scenarios, a stone is thrown over the edge of the bridge by the boy at a speed of 12.0 m/s and leaves his hand at exactly 20.0 m above the surface of the water. (a) If he throws the stone straight up first, how long does it take to hit the water? (b) If he throws the stone straight down, how long does it take to hit the water? (Use kinematic equations to solve.)
A bird embarks on the journey of winter migration from her nest. She starts by ﬂying 65.0 km due south. She then heads 55.0 ̊ south of east for 45.0 km. She ﬂies the last portion of her journey heading 35.0 ̊ south of west for 83.0 km. a) How far from the nest does the bird end up at the end of her journey? Give your answer to 3 signiﬁcant ﬁgures. b) In what direction is the nest, relative to the bird’s ﬁnal position? Give your answer as an angle, to the nearest degree.
Arugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent's goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball's velocity relative to the field does not have a positive × component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.5 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity O Bp relative to himself. If O Bp has magnitude 6.4 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) for the pass to be legal?
A projectile is shot at an inclination of 450 from the ground with a speed of 250 mps. (a) Derive the equation for the vertical displacement of the projectile at any time t. (b) using the result in (a), find the vertical displacement when t = 25 sec Solve with complete solutions and proper FBD. Thank you.
A projectile is shot at an inclination of 450 from the ground with a speed of 250 mps. (a) Derive the equation for the horizontal displacement of the projectile at any time t. (b) using the result in (a), find the horizontal displacement when t = 25 sec. (PLEASE SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTION)
Dylan and Sophia are walking along Bluebird Lake on a perfectly calm day. Dylan, determined to impress Sophia by his ability to skip rocks, picks up the flattest rock he can find and gives it a sidearm launch from the edge of the water. The rock acquires a completely horizontal speed of 27.2 m/s from a height of 0.54 meters above the water surface. How much time does it take to hit the surface of the water?
During the battle of Bunker Hill, Colonel William Prescott ordered the American Army to bombard the British Army camped near Boston. The projectiles had an initial velocity of 44 m/s at 32° above the horizon and an initial position that was 31 m higher than where they hit the ground. How far did the projectiles move horizontally before they hit the ground? Ignore air resistance. m=
A place-kicker must kick a football from a point of 36.0 m ( about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 23.9 m/s at an angle of 51.5 degrees to the horizontal. So in step 3 use an equation for the y-component of displacement under constant acceleration to find the height of the ball at this time, where yo is the initial vertical displacement, voy is the initial y-component of velocity, and ay is the vertical acceleration. y=yo+voy^t+1/2ayt^2. Use trigonometry.
A dog slips out of its collar while going for a walk and runs away at full speed. By the time the owner calls out for her to stop, she has already run 28 m straight east. When she hears her owner call out she runs back 9 m straight west and then stops at a fire hydrant. What is the magnitude and direction of the dog's overall displacement?
A football quarterback is moving straight backwards at a speed of 2.9m/s when he throws a pass to a player 22 m straight downfield. The ball is thrown at an angle of 21 degrees relative to the ground and is caught at the same height as it is released. What is magnitude of the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback in m/s? What angle above the horizontal does the initial velocity of the ball relative to the quarterback make? Give your answer in degrees.
A plane flies with a constant speed of (65.0 + A) m/s relative to the air. The plane needs to get to an airport straight south of its current location. When the plane encounters a wind from the west with a wind speed of (24.0 + B) m/s, the pilot makes the necessary corrections to ensure the plane will get to the desired destination. With this correction, what is the new speed of the plane relative to the ground? Calculate the answer in meters per second (m/s) and rounded to three significant figures. A=78 B= 7
