According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest home run ever measured was hit by Roy “Dizzy” Carlyle in a minor league game. The ball traveled 188 mm (618 ftft) before landing on the ground outside the ballpark. 1. How far would the ball be above a fence 3.0 mm (10 ftft) high if the fence was 116 mm (380 ftft) from home plate?

3.37 Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/hkm/h. The one goose is flying at 100 km/hkm/h relative to the air but a 42 km/hkm/h wind is blowing from west to east. 1. At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground? Express your answer using three significant figures. 2. How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 kmkm from north to south? (Note: Even on cloudy nights, many birds can navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction.) Express your answer using three significant figures.

1A. You're feeding the fish at the pond by the baseball field and decide to do some physics calculations. You notice that you release the fish food 1.65 m above the surface of the water, and during one throw, when the food left your hand at 3.20 m/s with a direction of 13.0° below the horizon, you managed to hit a fish near the surface. How fast was the food going right before it hits the fish? 1B.Two kittens are running toward each other, one is named Chloe and the other is named Luna. Luna runs at a speed of 1.40 m/s. If Chloe jumps at an angle of 37.0° with speed 2.70 m/s, at what distance from Luna should Chloe jump to make sure she lands on Luna?
