Ship A is located 3.8 km north and 2.6 km east of ship B. Ship A has a velocity of 22 km/h toward the south and ship B has a velocity of 38 km/h in a direction 35° north of east. What are the (a) x-component and (b) y-component of the velocity of A relative to B? (Axis directions are determined by the unit vectors î and, where î is toward the east.) (c) At what time is the separation between the ships least? (d) What is that least separation?

In the figure, a ball is launched with a velocity of magnitude 6.00 m/s, at an angle of 44.0° to the horizontal. The launch point is at the base of a ramp of horizontal length d1 = 6.00 m and height d2 = 3.60 m. A plateau is located at the top of the ramp. (a) Does the ball land on the ramp or the plateau? When it lands, what are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle of its displacement from the launch point?

A football player runs for a distance d1 = 7.17 m in 1.08 s, at an angle of θ = 41 degrees to the 50-yard line, then turns left and runs a distance d2 = 10.66 m in 1.62 s, in a direction perpendicular to the 50-yard line.
