An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 182 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 340 above the hortzontal. It then moves 137 at an angle af 43,0 below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axls, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer in ft, to at least four significant ques and give the direction of your answer in degrees courterclockwise from the +x-axis) ft magnitude direction counterclockwise from the axis

Black vultures excel at gliding flight; they can move long distances through the air without flapping their wings while undergoing only a modest drop in height. A vulture in a typical glide in still air moves along a path tipped 3.5° below the horizontal. If the vulture moves a horizontal distance of 100 m, how much height does it lose?

Can someone give me two physics equation to use on my presentation: one that represents Newton's first law and one that represents Newton's second law? I also need them solved and the steps shown. I know it's a lot to ask but I'd deeply appreciate it.
A baseball player hits a ball at 100 mph, with an initial height of 3 feet at an angle of elevation of30°, at Boston’s Fenway Park. The ball flies towards the gamed “Green Monster”, a wall 37 feethigh located 310 feet from home plate.a. Show that as hit, the ball hits the wall.b. Show that if the angle of elevation is 21°, the ball clears the Green Monster.

During 200-meter and 400-meter races, runners must stay in lanes as they go around a curved part of the track. If runners in two different lanes have exactly the same speed, will they also have exactly the same centripetal acceleration as they go around a curve? Explain.
A roller coaster moves 200 ft horizontally and then rises 135 ft at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. Next, it travels 135 ft at an angle of 40.0 below the horizontal. Use graphical techniques to find the roller coaster's displacement from its starting point to the end of this movement.

An owl is carrying a mouse to the chicks in its nest. Itsposition at that time is 4.00 m west and 12.0 m above thecenter of the 30.0 cm diameter nest. The owl is flying east at3.50 m/s at an angle 30.0º below the horizontal when itaccidentally drops the mouse. Is the owl lucky enough tohave the mouse hit the nest? To answer this question,calculate the horizontal position of the mouse when it hasfallen 12.0 m
A ball roles off a table as shown in the figure below with a horizontal velocity vx=7.9 m/s. If the height of the table y=1.5 m, determine the magnitude of the total velocity when the ball hits the ground. Hint: Calculate the vx and vy then use the Pythagorean Theorem.
