A van had a small light in the ceiling of the cargo bay. When the van is accelerating east at a rate of 2.99 m/s^2, the light bulb rattles loose and falls to the floor. Determine the acceleration relative to the earth and its direction and the acceleration relative to the van and it’s direction.

A boat crosses a river of width 225 m in whichthe current has a uniform speed of 1.35 m/s.The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e., the direction in which the boat points) perpendicularto the river and a throttle setting to give aconstant speed of 2.92 m/s relative to the water.What is the magnitude of the speed of theboat relative to a stationary shore observer?Answer in units of m/s. How far downstream from the initial positionis the boat when it reaches the opposite shore?Answer in units of m

If an object is located 20m to the right of the origin at 1:00 PM, and later the object is located 30 m to the left of the origin at 2:00 PM, then the displacement from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM is what?
A jetliner can fly 4.8 hours on a full load of fuel. Without any wind, it flies at a speed of 2.68 x102m/s. The plane is to make a round trip by heading due west for a certain distance, turning around, and then heading due east for the return trip. During the entire flight, however, the plane encounters a 69.9 m/s wind from the jet stream, which blows from west to east. What is the maximum distance that the plane can travel due west and just be able to return home?
A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then 60 degree south of east for 20 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30 nautical miles, and sails 30 degreeeast of north for 10 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles. At that time the boat becomes becalmed and the auxiliary engine fails to start. The crew decides to notify the Coast Guard of their position. What is their position?
Manong Edmond, a jeepney driver, is travelling from Manila City Hall to UST at a constant velocity of 10.23 kph. UST is 2.47 km away from the City Hall. How long will it take (in minutes) for Manong Edmond to reach UST? Assume that the pathway from City Hall to UST is purely linear and that traffic is negligible.
