Squids rely on jet propulsion when a rapid escape is necessary, providedthey have filled their mantle with water prior to escape. An empty 1.5kg squid initially drifting at 1.6m/s pulls in 0.10kg of water in its mantle, then ejects this water at a remarkable 45m/s. How fast is this squid moving right after this ejection?
3.13 A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 20.6 mm above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 1.9 mm above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 60.0 mm wide. 1.How fast should the car be traveling just as it leaves the cliff in order to just clear the river and land safely on the opposite side?2.What is the speed of the car just before it lands safely on the other side?
A ship sailing in the Gulf Stream is heading 25.0º westof north at a speed of 4.00 m/s relative to the water. Itsvelocity relative to the Earth is 4.80 m/s 5.00º west ofnorth. What is the velocity of the Gulf Stream? (The velocityobtained is typical for the Gulf Stream a few hundredkilometers off the east coast of the United States.)
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.
One airplane is flying north at 300 km/h, while another is flying at 300 km/h north east. Is its speed the same? is its fast the same? Explain.
The 25-Mg boxcar A 16m/s to the right is coasting on the horizontal track when it encounters a 9-Mg car B coasting at 2m/s toward it. If the two cars meet and couple together, determin common speed in m/s just after the coupling. Please see details below. Rounding numbers to 2 decimal places at the end.
In a boat race , boat A is leading boat B by 37m and both boats are travelling at a constant speed of 158 kph. At t=0, the boats accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that when B passes A, t=8s and boat A is moving at 229 kph, determine the relative velocity (m/s) of B with respect to A at 9s. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.

An ice hockey player is moving at 8.00 m/s when he hits the puck toward the goal. The speed of the puck relative to the player is 29.0 m/s. The line between the center of the goal and the player makes a 90.0° angle relative to his path as shown in Figure 3.65. What angle must the puck's velocity make relative to the player (in his frame of reference) to hit the center of the goal?
