Whale sharks swim forward while ascending or descending. They swim along a straight-line path at a shallow angle as they move from the surface to deep water or from the depths to the surface. In one recorded dive, a shark started 50 m below the surface and swam at 0.85 m/s along a path tipped at a 13° angle above the horizontal until reaching the surface. a. What was the horizontal distance between the shark's starting and ending positions?
A commercial jet sets its speed to 525 mph, and points its nose in the direction of 15 degrees west of north (-105 degrees from +x-axis). However, a strong jet stream is blowing at 110 mph at a direction of 20 degrees. The actual resultant velocity of the aircraft is the sum of these two vectors. a. Find the final velocity b. For this airspeed and wind velocity, find the angle west of due north that the nose will need to point in order for the final velocity to be due north.

r The speed of a boat in still water is V. A river flows with a speed of v₁. The boat travels distance of 14 miles downstream in a river in 1 hour. However, the return journey takes 2 hours. Calculate the V and V₁. Hint: Velocity = displacement/time. Displacement can be positive of neagtive depending on the direction. You will first need to set up the equations by taking into account the resultant velocity of the boat in flowing water. Consider the direction the river is flowing to be positive. Set up two equations, one for the downstream journey and one for the upstream journey, in terms of "V" and "v": Do V" and "v, add or substract downstream to give the resultant downstream velocity? Do v" and "v, add or substract upstream togive the resultant upstream velocity? Use the upstream direction as negative. The resultant upstream velocity should be negative. Equation 1 (downstream): Equation 2 (upstream): Solve for: V₁² vb Write an algebraic expression; do not use numerical values except…

You have exactly 4 minutes 26 seconds to get to your next class on time and that classroom is 216 m east of where you are right now. First you run to your dorm room at an average velocity of 5.42 m/s to the south to pick up your calculator and your dorm room is 332 m south of where you were initially. What average velocity (magnitude only) do you now need to run from your dorm room to your classroom to arrive exactly on time? a. 1.49 m/s b. 5.42 m/s c. 1.93 m/s d. 2.06 m/s
You drive 7.50 km in a straight line in a direction 25° East of North. a. Find the distances (in km) you would have to drive straight East and then straight North to arrive at the same point. (This is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the East and North directions.) b. Show that you still arrive at the same point if the East and North legs are reversed in order.
A small ball is attached to the lower end of a 0.800-m-long string, and the other end of the string is tied to a horizontal rod.
