4) Jane is hang-gliding, flying northward at 12.0 m/s. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows to the east, acceler- ating the glider (and Jane!) for awind = 0.400 m/s. The wind gust lasts for 4 seconds. a) What is the magnitude and direction of Jane's displacement over these four seconds?

### Physics Problems and Solutions #### Question 4 Jane is hang-gliding, flying northward at 12.0 m/s. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows to the east, accelerating the glider (and Jane!) for \( a_{wind} = 0.400 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). The wind gust lasts for 4 seconds. ##### a) What is the magnitude and direction of Jane’s displacement over these four seconds? #### Question 5 The minions in the depths of Smeevenco headquarters are playing a dangerous game of curling, using themselves as the stones. One minion throws himself on the ice and slides all the way across the target and off the board, falling down a pit as shown below. The pit is 10.5 m deep, and the minion landed 16.0 m from the edge of the pit. ##### a) How fast was the minion sliding when he left the edge of the pit? ##### Figure 1: For Question #5 ![Minion sliding diagram](image.jpg) In the diagram for Question #5: - The minion's trajectory as he slides off the edge of the pit is illustrated with a red curve. - There are three main measurements shown in the diagram: - The vertical depth of the pit is 10.5 m. - The horizontal distance from the edge of the pit to where the minion lands is 16.0 m. - The total distance the minion traveled before falling into the pit is represented, though not explicitly labeled, the horizontal distance the minion traveled before leaving the edge of the pit. This setup forms the basis for calculations regarding the minion’s sliding speed when he left the edge of the pit.
