An object is dropped from rest and takes 2.42 seconds to reach the ground below. From what distance above the ground was it dropped? State this as a positive number and assume it has proper SI Units.
A remote-controlled car is moving around in a level (horizontal) parking lot. The velocity of the car as a function of time is given by: 3 = [5.0m/s – (0.018m/s³)t²]î + [2.0m/s + (0.55m/s²)t]j where î and ĵ are unit vectors representing two perpendicular directions on the horizontal ground (think of them as the East and North directions, if that helps you). b). What are the magnitude and direction of the car's velocity at t = 8.0 s? c). What are the magnitude and direction of the car's acceleration at t = 8.0 s? (Don't be intimated by the velocity function! Look at the î and ĵ components, and work each component separately to begin with, before combining components together to get any resultant vectors, if needed.)

How long, t1, in seconds did it take the light to reach the student's eyes after the lightning strike?
To get to his office from home, Greg walks 5 blocks north and then 3 blocks east. After work he meets some friends at a café; to get there he walks 2 blocks south and 5 blocks west. All blocks are 660 feet long. What is the straight-line distance from the café to his home?
While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances in a hori- zontal plane. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 125 m at an angle u 5 30.0° north of east, and 150 m south. Find her resultant displacement from the cave entrance. Figure P3.21 suggests the situation but is not drawn to scale.
A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by the following expressions: 2. x = (18.0 m/s)t and y = (4.00 m/s)t – (4.90 m/s²) t² (a) Write a vector expression for the ball's position as a function of time, using the unit vectors i and j. By taking derivatives, obtain expressions for (b) the velocity vector v as a function of time and (c) the acceleration vector a as a function of time. Next use unit-vector notation to write ex- pressions for (d) the position, (e) the velocity, and (f) the acceleration of the golf ball, all at t = 3.00 s.
v sin 20 gives the distance x travelled (in feet) by a projectile launched from 32 The formula r% = the ground, with initial velocity v (in feet/sec) and initial angle 0 (in radians or degrees). a. Write an expression for the total differential in x. b. Use the total differential to estimate the error in calculating the range of a projectile with initial velocityv 100 ft/sec and initial angle 0= 50 degrees, with measurement errors of dv = t10 ft/sec (for velocity) and d6==5 degrees (for the initial angle). (Note: remember to use radians for the differential in 0.)
