Chapter 3, Problem 3.75P
Two soccer players, Mia and Alice, are running as Alice passes the ball to Mia. Mia is running due north with a speed of 6.00 m/s. The velocity of the ball relative to Mia is 5.00 m/s in a direction 30.0° east of south. What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the ball relative to the ground?

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 basketball player who is 2.00 m tall is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in figure. If he shoots the ball at a 40.0° angle with the horizontal at what initial speed must he throw so that it goes through the hoop without striking the backboard? the basket height is 3.05 m.
A 2.00-m-tall basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket, as in Figure P3. 58. If he shoots the ball at a 40.0° angle with the horizontal, at what initial speed must he throw the basketball so that it goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
