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?
A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other along a straight, level track.When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other’s train and applies the brakes.The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s2. Is there a collision? If so, answer yes and give the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train at impact, respectively. If not, answer no and give the separation between the trains when they stop
Rosa's boat is paddling upstream (against the current) at 1.25 m/s relative to the water in a river which is flowing at 0.50 m/s relative to the banks of teh river. What is the resultant velocity of Rosa's boat (relative to the banks)? Then, if Rosa's boat is paddling downsteam (with the current) at 1.25 m/s relative to the water in a river which is flowing at 0.50 m/s relative to the banks of the river. What is the resultant velocity of Rosa's boat (relative to the banks)?
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, h, in feet, t 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 boat leaves a dock at 2:00 p.m., heading west at 15 km/h. Another boat heads south at 12 km/h and reaches the same dock at 3:00 p.m. When were the boats closest to each other?
A rocket ship has a position given by x(t)=bt2 meters. In order for it to reach a velocity of 5,000 m/s in 40,000 meters, what must be the value of b?
The range of a projectile depends not only on v0 and but also on the value g of the free-fall acceleration, which varies from place to place. In 1936, Jesse Owens established a world’s running broad jump record of 8.09 m at the Olympic Games at Berlin (where g 9.8128 m/s2). Assuming the same values of v0 and , by how much would his record have differed if he had competed instead in 1956 at Melbourne (where g = 9.7999 m/s2)?
Two trains A and B of length 800 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of 144 km h-1 in the same direction, with A ahead of B. The driver of B decides to overtake A and accelerates by 2 m s-2. If after 100 s, the guard of B just brushes past the driver of A, what was the original distance between them ?
