A ship is spotted from two lighthouses, A and B at 1 P.M. From lighthouse A, which is 39.2 km due west of lighthouse B, the ship is N 36° E. From lighthouse B, the ship is N 75° W. At 1:15 P.M., from lighthouse A, it is observed that the ship's position is N 48° E while from lighthouse B, it is still N 75° W. What is the average speed of the ship between the two sightings? A. 11.92 km/hr B. 11.21 km/hr C. 10.12 km/hr D. 10.76 km/hr
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

The Airbus A350 from Manila bound for St. Petersburg cannot travel in a straight route due to weather disturbances and some restrictions in the air space. Instead, it travelled at a velocity of 740 kph due 25° NNE, then it turned towards East at a velocity of 870 kph. After that, at a velocity of 900 kph, it ventured 35° WNW, then it turned 50° South of West maintaining the same velocity of 900 kph. Finally, to reach its destination, it needs to turn towards west at a velocity of 350 kph. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the airplane’s velocity during its flight.
A 238U nucleus is moving in the x direction at 5.0×105 m/s when it decays into an alpha particle (4He) and a 234Th nucleus. If the alpha particle moves off at 22 degrees above the x axis with a speed of 1.1×107 m/s, a) What is the speed of the thorium nucleus and b) What is the direction of the motion of the thorium nucleus ( degrees clockwise from the x axis)?
h=-16(2)^(2)-30(2)+220, where h_(0) is the height of the object when t=0 and v_(0) is the velocity of the object at time t=0 (c) How far does the rock fall in 2 seconds if you throw it downward with an initial velocity of 30 feet per second?
In his 1865 science fiction novel From the Earth to the Moon, Jules Verne described how three astronauts are shot to the Moon by means of a huge gun. According to Verne, the aluminum capsule containing the astronauts is accelerated by ignition of nitrocellulose to a speed of 11 km/s along the gun barrel’s length of 220 m. (a) In g units, what is the average acceleration of the capsule and astronauts in the gun barrel? (b) Is that acceleration tolerable or deadly to the astronauts? A modern version of such gun-launched spacecraft (although without passengers) has been proposed. In this modern version, called the SHARP (Super High Altitude Research Project) gun, ignition of methane and air shoves a piston along the gun’s tube, compressing hydrogen gas that then launches a rocket. During this launch, the rocket moves 3.5 km and reaches a speed of 7.0 km/s. Once launched, the rocket can be fired to gain additional speed. (c) In g units, what would be the average acceleration of the rocket…
A person skateboarding with a constant speed of 1.30 m>s releases a ball from a height of 1.25 m above the ground.Given that x0 = 0 and y0 = h = 1.25 m, find x and y for (a) t = 0.250 s and (b) t = 0.500 s. (c) Find the velocity, speed,and direction of motion of the ball at t = 0.500 s.
Anna Shcherbakova is a 2022 Beijing Olympics figure skating gold medalist for ladies’ singles.After warming up she starts her practice by skating towards the middle of the ice rink, 14 metersfrom the entrance. However, this time, one of her friends decided to trick her by pushing hertowards the middle at a velocity of 1.2 m/s (disregard friction between the ice and her skates).Recovering from the shock 2 seconds after, she starts pushing herself forward at an accelerationof 0.5 m/s2. What velocity will she have when she reaches the middle of the rink?

After one hour, find a) the exact value of the distance between the two ships, b) the bearing from ship B to ship A.
You are on the roof of the lecture hall, 51.8 m above ground. As your physics professor, who is 1.8 m tall, walks towards the hall at a constant speed of 1.2 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume egg is in freefall and air resistance is ignored.
A rock is thrown upward from the top of a 112-foot high cliff overlooking the ocean at a speed of 96 feet per second. The rock's height above ocean can be modeled by the equation. H(t) = -16t2 +96t+112 a. Which does the rock reach the maximum height?b. What is the maximum height of the rock?
Dr. John Paul Stapp was a U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme acceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s. Calculate his (a) acceleration in his direction of motion and (b) acceleration opposite to his direction of motion. Express each in multiples of g (9.80 m/s2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.
