- A sailor is enjoying a nice day on his sailboat, sailing west with the wind at constant velocity. At one point the sailor spots an anchored buoy some distance to the east of the boat, and turns on his motor to head towards it. The boat kept gliding to the west for some distance before turning around and heading eastward. The boat was traveling initially with velocity v = -6.0i m/s and it took the the boat 2.0 s to turn around. What is the velocity of the boat, 5.0 s after the motor is turned on? The coordinate system is set up such that the +i direction is East.

- A 440g beanbag slides up a cornhole board (if you’ve never played cornhole before, the board is basically a ramp). The board is tilted 10.◦ from the hori- zontal. The beanbag initially is moving with a speed of 1.21 m/s directly up the ramp. It stops at a displacement 0.35m from where it was initially, and then slides back down 1. How does the magnitude of the acceleration of the bean bag on the wayup compare to the acceleration of the beanbag on the way down? Explainyour reasoning.2.
