Mr. M's truck at a velocity of 14m/s [E]. At an exact instant, he sees his friend, Mr. T 35m away from him ([E] direction). At that instant when Mr. M measures Mr. T to be 35m away, Mr. M throws a ball straight up with the intent to hit Mr. T's head. What initial speed should he throw a ball (assuming he throws it straight up) to hit Mr. T? (assume Mr. T's head is level with where Mr. M releases the snowball)

An athlete crosses a 28 meters wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 1.1 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance of 42 meters downstream from his starting point. w = 28md = 42m vs = 1.1m/s What is the speed of the swimmer with respect to a freind at rest on the ground in m/s?
When the moving sidewalk at the airport is broken, as it often seems to be, it takes you 50 s to walk from your gate to baggage claim. When it is working and you stand on the moving sidewalk the entire way, without walking, it takes 75 s to travel the same distance. How long will it take you to travel from the gate to baggage claim if you walk while riding on the moving sidewalk?

Three cars, A,B, and C, are moving along a straight section of highway. If the velocity of A relative to B is +60m/s and the velocity of A relative to C is +20m/s, then what is the velocity of C relative to B?
A golfer on level ground attempts to drive a golf ball across a 50 meter wide pond by hitting the ball so that it travels initially at 25m/s at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal plane. How far will the golf ball travel?
A fly is buzzing through the air at 0.1 m/d when a gust of wind comes and gives it an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2 for 4.7 seconds. How far has the fly traveled during this time frame, being blown forward?
A student is walking with a constant speed of ??1meters per second along High Street and sees a puddle ??1 meters ahead of her. A bus driver is driving parallel to the student along High Street as well. At the moment the bus is ??2meters behind the student, the bus driver decides he wants to splash he student with water by driving over the puddle as the student walks past. Determine the expression for the speed that the bus must have in terms of the given variables such that the bus and the student reach the puddle at the same time to splash the student.
Consider a dragster that, when the light turns green, accelerates uniformly from rest and completes a 372 meter race in a time of 6.61 seconds. a) During this period, what is the dragster's acceleration expressed as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity, g? b) If the dragster could continue with this average acceleration, what would its speed be, in miles per hour, after it has traveled a total distance of 1.6km1.6km, which is approximately one mile?
After a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by v=1.2i9.8tj where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The balls displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by r=00.3803vdt To perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem [A+Bf(x)]dx=Adx+Bf(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 s.

A person riding in a subway train drops a ball from rest straightdownward, relative to the interior of the train. The train is moving horizontally with a constant speed of 6.7 m>s. A second person standing at rest on the subway platform observes the balldrop. From the point of view of the person on the platform, theball is released at the position x = 0 and y = 1.2 m. Make a plotof the position of the ball for the times t = 0, 0.1 s, 0.2 s, 0.3s, and 0.4 s.
