2. You decide to enjoy the lovely Santa Barbara weather by taking a ride in your car along the coast. (a) Driving on 101, you pass by an accident. How far does your car travel forward during the 1 second that you take to look at the accident on the side of the road, if you're going with 100 km/h? (b) Then, you drive up a hill at a constant speed of 40 km/h and return down the hill at a speed of 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?
4. You have exactly 5 minutes 13 seconds to get to your next class on time and that classroom is 418 m east of where you are right now. First you run to your dorm room at an average velocity of 4.92 m/s to the south to pick up your calculator and your dorm room is 477 m south of where you were initially. What average velocity (magnitude only) do you now need to run from your dorm room to your classroom to arrive exactly on time? 2.03 m/s 4.92 m/s 2.94 m/s 2.86 m/s
A treasure hunter follows a map moving 25 km [N], 37 km [W 37 degrees S], 63 km [E 65 degrees S] and finally 15 km [N 17 degrees E]. If his average for the entire trip was 45 km/hr, calculate: a. The total time for the trip; and b. The average velocity of the trip
3. A plane is travelling with a velocity relative to the air of 3.5 × 10² km/h [N 35° W] as it passes over Kitchener-Waterloo. The wind velocity is 62 km/h [S]. a) Determine the velocity of the plane relative to the ground. Ans: 3.0 × 10² km/h [N42° W] b) Determine the displacement of the plane after 1.2 h. Ans: 3.6 × 10² km [N 42° W]
2. A migrating Canadian goose is flying south for the winter. It can fly 100 miles due south in 4.3 hours in calm air. During that time a strong westerly wind is blowing at 10 mph. How much has the wind blown it off its southerly course during its 100 mile trip if it continues to fly aiming due south ? Distance off course = miles
4. A swimmer is trying to get across the English Channel. She starts off swimming at 1.75 m/s [W 20° N] and ends up swimming at 2 m/s [N]. What is the change in velocity due to the current?
7. A student goes for a jog at an average speed of 3.5 m/s. Starting from home, he first runs 1.8 km [E] and then runs 2.6 km [N 35° E]. Then he heads directly home. How long will the entire trip take?
