The position r→ of a particle moving in an xy plane is given by r→=(3.00t^3−7.00t)i^+(6.00−2.00t^4)j^ with r→ in meters and t in seconds. In unit-vector notation, calculate(a)r→, (b)v→, and (c)a→ for t = 2.00 s. (d) What is the angle between the positive direction of the x axis and a line tangent to the particle's path at t = 2.00 s? Give your answer in the range of (-180o; 180o).
A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent’s goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball’s velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.0 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity relative to himself. If has magnitude 6.0 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?
A projectile is fired from a cliff 190 feet above the water at an inclination of 45 degree to the horizontal ,with muzzle velocity of 45 feet per second. The height h of the projectile above the water is given by h(x)=-32x^2/((45)^2) +x+190 Where x is the horizontal distance of the projectile from the face of the cliff. (A) At what distance from the face of the cliff is the height of the projectile a maximum?
A stone is thrown from the top of a tower 15m above ground level at time t = 0. At the instant of launch, the stone has a speed of u = 5.00 ms-1 and moves in projective motion at an angle of 30°. At t = 2.00 s, the stone is still above ground level. What are the x- and y- components of the stones displacement relative to its launch point at time t = 2.00 s and what is the distance from the stones launch point at this time?
if the marble is launched with the launch speed V_{o} but at an initial angle of , what would be the expression of v_{0} in terms of horizontal displacement x and vertical displacement y? Hint: y = (v_{0} * sin theta) * t - 1/2 * q * t ^ 2 and replace t using x = (v_{0} * cos theta) t .
Three cars, A,B, and C, are moving along a straight section of highway. If the velocity of A relative to B is +60m/s and the velocity of A relative to C is +20m/s, then what is the velocity of C relative to B?
An athlete crosses a 29 m 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 35m downstream from his starting point. How fast is the water in the river flowing with respect to the ground in m/s?
A seasoned mini golfer is trying to make par on a tricky number five hole. The golfer can complete the hole by hitting the ball from the flat section it lays on, up a 45∘45∘ ramp, over a moat, and into the hole which is ?=1.90 md=1.90 m away from the end of the ramp. If the opening of the hole and the end of the ramp are at the same height, ?=0.880 m,y=0.880 m, at what speed must the golfer hit the ball to launch the ball over the moat so that it lands directly in the hole? Assume a frictionless surface, so the ball slides without rotating. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.
An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.335 m above his mouth. What is the minimum speed at which the archer fish must spit?
A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of = 1.00ĵ m/s2 and an initial velocity of i = 9.00î m/s.

(c) Find the coordinates of the particle at t = 3.00 s. (d) Find the speed of the particle at t = 3.00 s.
In the figure, a ball is thrown leftward from the left edge of the roof, at height h above the ground. The ball hits the ground 1.40 s later, at distance d = 27.0 m from the building and at angle θ = 66.0° with the horizontal. (a) Find h. (Hint: One way is to reverse the motion, as if on videotape.) What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle relative to the horizontal of the velocity at which the ball is thrown (positive angle for above horizontal, negative for below)? I just need (c) solved. The answer is not 56.10 degrees.
