A man paddles a canoe in a long, straight section of a river. The canoe moves downstream with constant speed 5 m/s relative to the water. The river has a steady current of 2 m/s relative to the bank. The man's hat falls into the river. Five minutes later, he notices that his hat is missing and immediately turns the canoe around, paddling upriver with the same constant speed of 5 m/s relative to the water. How long does it take the man to row back upriver to reclaim his hat?

A spacecraft has an initial speed of 3037 m/s at an angle of 27 degrees above the positive x axis. Two engines fire for 5.4 seconds, and produce an acceleration of 9.9 m/s/s at an angle of 18.5 degrees above the positive x axis. What is the final speed of the spacecraft? What angle is it at above the positive x-axis?
An airplane is flying south at a speed Vi= 25m/s. It then accelerates in a direction 10 degrees north of east with magnitude a. After t seconds, the airplane's velocity is now pointing due east. What is the airplane's speed at this point? Please draw a tail to tip diagram of the problem.
After a constant acceleration of 3.52 m/s/s at 9.6 degrees above the +x-axis is applied by the motors of a boat for 7.05 seconds, the boat is moving at 96.8 m/s at 34 degrees above the +x-axis. What was the displacement of the boat during this time? What is the angle from the positive x-axis?
You are on a new planet and want to know the acceleration due to gravity. You take a ball and kick it at an angle of 18.0° at a speed of 24.7 m/s. If the ball is in the air for 5.90 s, what is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity?
A river flows due south with a speed of 4.00 m/s. A man steers a motorboat across the river; his velocity relative to the water is 3.80 m/s due east. The river is 790 m wide. How much time is required for the man to cross the river? (Express your answer in seconds.) How far south of his starting point will he reach the opposite bank? (Express your answer in meters.)
A boat crosses a 222 m wide river flowing at 4.8 m/s to reach a dock directly on the other side. If the boat motor can propel the boat at 14 m/s across the water, how long (in seconds) will it take the boat to reach the dock assuming it travels in a straight line)?

Alice, Bruce, Chad, and Dave are enjoying a trip to the amusement park. Alice rides the Ferris Wheel (47.75 meters in diameter), but Bruce decides simply to watch. Chad and Dave are riding the monorail that passes along a straight track just below the Ferris Wheel's bottom. The monorail moves at a constant speed of 9 m/s. The first time that Alice passes Bruce (who is standing right next to Alice but on the ground), Alice and Bruce look at their watches, and Chad (who happens to be passing under Alice's seat on the Ferris Wheel at that instant) looks at the clock on her seat's fancy electronic display. This is event A. When Alice passes Bruce the next time (call this event B), Alice and Bruce again look at their watches, and Dave, who happens to be passing under Alice's position at just that instant, looks at his display (which we assume is synchronized with Chad's display). Everyone determines the time interval that they measure between these momentous events (Chad and Dave by…
The take off speed of a military aircraft from an aircraft carrier is approximately 170 mi/hr relative to the air. They acquire this speed through a combination of a catapult system present on the aircraft carrier and the aircraft's jet propulsion system. A common strategy is to head the carrier and the plane into the wind. If a plane is taking off from an aircraft carrier which is moving at 40 mi/hr into a 20 mi/hr headwind, then what speed relative to the deck of the aircraft carrier must it obtain to takeoff? Draw your vectors.
