A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30 north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m south. Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?

Review. As it passes over Grand Bahama Island, the eye of a hurricane is moving in a direction 60.0 north of west with a speed of 41.0 km/h. (a) What is the unit-vector expression for the velocity of the hurricane?

A truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge (Fig. P4.76). The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly off the truck. One melon leaves the hood of the truck with an initial speed i, = 10.0 m/s in the horizontal direction. A cross section of the bank has the shape of the bottom half of a parabola, with its vertex at the initial location of the projected watermelon and with the equation y2= 16x, where x and y are mea- sured in meters What are the x and y coordinates of the melon when it splatters on the bank?
A toy rocket engine is securely fastened to a large puck that can glide with negligible friction over a horizontal surface, taken as the xy plane.

Assuming the rocket engine exerts a constant horizontal force, find (a) the components of the force and (b) its magnitude.
