A seagull flies at a velocity of 7.5 m/s relative to the air straight into the wind. vSA = 7.5 m/s t = 23 min d = 6.8 km If it takes the bird 23 min to travel 6.8 km relative to the Earth, what is the velocity of the wind, in meters per second, relative to the Earth? Take the direction of travel of the seagull to be positive. If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long, in minutes, will it take to return 6.8 km?
A spaceship is traveling at a constant velocity of v ⃗ (t) = 250.0i ^ m/s when its rockets fire, giving it an acceleration of a ⃗ (t) = (3.0i ^ + 4.0k ^ )m/s2. What is its velocity 5 s after the rockets fire?
A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle are both traveling at the same speed of 20.5 m/s , and the distance between them is 60.0 m . After t1= 4.00, he motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 4.00 m/s^2. The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2. 1) How long does it take from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car? In other words, find t2−t1. 2)How far does the motorcycle travel from the moment it starts to accelerate (at time t1) until it catches up with the car (at time t2)? Should you need to use an answer from a previous part, make sure you use the unrounded value.

You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.672.67 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.1860.186 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high ℎ0h0 above the ground was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the way down?
A ball is launched horizontally with speed 25m/s. If it takes 5 seconds to fall to the ground, how high up was it when it was launched? (without using the second equation of motion) v(x) = x/t a(y)= v(y)/t v(y)=y/t
A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, hh, in feet, tt seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
A helicopter leaves its base and travels 20.0 km north. After a brief stop, it flies 35.7 km south, pauses briefly and then flies 17.0 km north. Finally, it flies 6.0 km south and lands. At the end of the trip, what is the displacement of the helicopter from its base?

A spaceship is traveling at a constant velocity of v(t) = 300.0i m/s when its rockets fire, giving it an acceleration of a(t) = (9.0i + 9.0k) m/s^2. What is its velocity (in m/s) 4 s after the rockets fire? (Express your answer in vector form.)
A toy airplane is flying in a straight horizontal (parallel to the ground) path with a speed of vi = 26.0 m/s. Suddenly, the airplane's engines stop (at t=0). Using an x-axis that is horizontal and along the plane's original velocity and a y-axis that is vertical with positive away from the ground, the airplane now has an acceleration given by the following expressions: ax(t)=−t2/Cay(t)=−g[1−vx(t)/vi] where C=2363s4/m and vx(t) is the x component of the airplane's velocity. The airplane crashes 41.25 seconds after the engines stop. In this question I have to find the vertical Vy component of the plane when it hits the wall. I know that to get that I have to integrate ay(t) but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to put in for Vx(t) in the equation.
