Two cars, A and B, travel in the same direction on a straight section of highway. A has a speed of 69.0 km/h, and B a speed of 75.0 km/h (both relative to the earth).
What is the speed of B relative to A?
If A is initially 355 m in front of B, how long will it take for B to reach A?
A cross-country skier skis 1.0 km north and then 2.0 km east. How far and in what direction is she from the starting point? What are the magnitude and direction of her resultant displacement?
(Complete solution)
At one instant, a bicyclist is 50 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 18 m/s. Then, 13 s later, the cyclist is 45 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 13 m/s. For the cyclist in this 13 s interval, what is the displacement (m) and direction north of west, average velocity (m/s) and direction north of west and the average acceleration and direction north of east?

How high will the same golf ball travel on the moon if the magnitude and direction of its velocity are the same as they were on earth immediately after the ball was hit? Assume that the ball is hit and lands at the same elevation in both cases and that the effect of the atmosphere on the earth is neglected, so that the trajectory in both cases is a parabola.
