A student slides a glass of beer down the bar at a local pub (WTs). The height of the bar is 1.36 m. The glass slides off the end of the bar and strikes the floor 1.00 m from the base of the bar.
(a) With what velocity did the glass leave the bar?

(b) What was the direction of the glass's velocity just before it hit the floor?

A hovercraft is initially at rest but floating above land. The hovercraft has two horizontal thrusters. One provides acceleration of aNORTH= 5.15 m/s2 (NORTH). The second one provides an acceleration of aEAST= 4.75 m/s2 (EAST). If the north thruster fires for 7.33 seconds and the east thruster fires for 4.87 seconds, what is the velocity of the hovercraft after both thrusters fired? Air resistance doesn't have an effect.
