You ride in a boat on a river flowing at 1.7m/s(in the negative y direction). Suppose you would like the boat to move directly across the river (in the positive x direction) with a speed of 5.5m/s.What is the corresponding direction of the boat's velocity relative to the water (i.e. from the positive x direction)?Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.

A particle performs a one-dimensional motion with the position given by the time equation x(t) = 1,3t4 - 2,0t3, where x is given in meters and t is given in seconds. At time t=0, the particle starts its motion at the origin x=0. At what instant (in seconds) does the particle reverse its direction of motion?
A particle moves down a horizontal route that begins 5 feet to the right of a specific point P with an initial velocity of 4 feet per second. Another particle is going along the same route, beginning 3 feet to the left of P with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second. Consider that the accelerations of the two particles are a1(t) = 2t 3 and a2(t) = 2t 5, respectively. Will the particles collide? Justify your response
