Activity 1.12-Vector Problems I 1. The final push to the summit of Mt. Everest starts at Camp 3. Your displacement from Camp 3 to Camp 4 is 400- meter west, 600-meter south, and 100 meter up. From Camp 4 to the peak is 900-meter east, 200-meter south, and 200 meter up. a. What is the displacement vector from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? Give distances east/west, north/south and up/down from Camp 3 to the peak. b. What is the straight-line distance from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? The straight-line distance is the distance if you drew a straight line from Camp 3 to Mt. Everest. 2. A spinning ball is falling straight downwards at 5 m/s bounces off the floor. Immediately after losing contact with the floor, the ball is moving at 4 m/s at 30° from vertical as shown. The ball is in contact with the floor for 015

In 1780, in what is now referred to as "Brady's Leap," Captain Sam Brady of the U.S. Continental Army escaped certain death from his enemies by running over the edge of the cliff above Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which is confined at that spot to a gorge. He landed safely on the far side of the river. It was reported that he leapt 22 ft across while falling 20 ft. (Figure 1) A. Representing the horizontal distance jumped as L and the vertical drop as h , as shown in the figure, derive an expression for the minimum speed v he would need to make his leap if he ran straight off the cliff. Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and appropriate constants. B. Evaluate your expression for a 22 ft jump with a 20 ft drop to the other side. C. Is it reasonable that a person could make this leap? Use the fact that the world record for the 100 m dash is approximately 10 s to estimate the maximum speed such a runner would have. (Yes or no answer)
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp.
