One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. Then, while your opponent is watching that snowball, you throw a second one at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 25.0 m/s. The first is thrown at an angle of 70.0 with respect to the horizontal. (a) At what angle should the second snowball be thrown to arrive at the same point as the first? (b) How many seconds later should the second snowball be thrown after the first for both to arrive at the same time?

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?
A man is running on a straight road perpendicular to a train track and away from the track at a speed of 12 m/s. The train is moving with a speed of 30 m/s with respect to the track. What is the speed of the man with respect to a passenger sitting at rest in the train?
A motorboat is crossing a river that flows eastward at a speed of 5 kph. If the boat needs to maintain its northward course and a speed of 10kph relative to an observer standing on the river bank, what should be its velocity relative to the river? Hint: Solve for Vbr.
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 How fast is the water in the river flowing with respect to the ground in m/s?

A ship bearing N 30-degrees W moves 3 hours at 17 miles per hour. It then turns 50 degrees starboard (to the right) to continue for 4 hours at 21 miles per hour. Finally the ship turns to a bearing of S 20-degrees E and travels for 1 hour at 12 miles per hour. Where is the ship's final location relative to its start?

You are on a train that is traveling at 3.0m/s along a level straight track. Very near and parallel to the track is a wall that slopes upward at a 12degree angle with the horizontal. As you face the window (0.990m high, 2.45m wide) in your compartment, the train is moving to the left. The top edge of the wall first appears at window corner A and eventually disappears at window corner B. How much time passes between appearance and disappearance of the upper edge of the wall?
