Required information Sheena can row a boat at 3.40 mi/h in still water. She needs to cross a river that is 1.20 mi wide with a current flowing at 1.60 mi/h. Not having her calculator ready, she guesses that to go straight across, she should head upstream at an angle of 25.0° from the direction straight across the river. How far upstream or downstream from her starting point will she reach the opposite bank? If upstream, enter a positive value and if downstream, enter a negative value. mi

A horizontal projectile is shot with an initial velocity of 29.9 m/s from a height of 6.99 m above the ground. Neglecting air-resistance, what is the direction of the final velocity (in degrees)? Hint: angle measured from the horizontal (+x-axis), positive angles for counterclockwise & negative angles for clockwise.
A hiker starts at his camp and moves the following distances while exploring his surroundings: 75.0 m north, 2.50 102 m east, 125 m at an angle 30.0 north of east, and 1.50 102 m south. (a) Find his resultant displacement from camp. (Take east as the positive x-direction and north as the positive y-direction.) (b) Would changes in the order in which the hiker makes the given displacements alter his final position? Explain.

Explain how to find the range of a projectile projected horizontally from a top of a building with an initial velocity (make up your own initial velocity). First, use the kinematic formula for finding the time it takes to hit the target, delta y = (1/2) gt^2 . Then use the equation R = Vx * t to find the range. Explain please
In the Superbowl, a quarterback throws a football while standing at the very center of the field on the 50 yard line. The ball leaves his hand at a height of 5 ft and has initial velocity of ~v(0) =< 40, 35, 32 > ft/sec. Assume an acceleration of 32 ft/sec2 due to gravity, i.e., ~a(t) =< 0, 0, −32 >, and that the vector ~i points down fieldtoward the endzone and that the vector ~j points to the sideline. The field is 150 ft in width and 300 ft in length.(a) Determine the position function that gives the position of the ball t seconds after it isthrown. (b) The ball is caught by a player 5 ft above the ground. Is the player in bounds or out ofbounds when he receives the ball? (Assume the player is standing vertically with bothtoes on the ground at the time of reception.)
