A plane drops a hamper of medical supplies from a height of 5580 m during a practice run over the ocean. The plane's horizontal veloc- ity was 149 m/s at the instant the hamper was dropped. What is the magnitude of the overall ve- locity of the hamper at the instant it strikes the surface of the ocean? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². Answer in units of m/s. Answer in units of m/s.

Check Your Understanding Verify that vector v V obtained in Example 2.14 is indeed a unit vector by computing its magnitude. If the convoy in Example 2.8 was moving across a desert flatland—that is, it the third component of its velocity was zero—what is the unit vector of its direction of motion? Which geographic direction does it represent?
With the ability to measure the motion of land masses, continental drift has become an established fact. The North American and European continents are drifting apart at a rate of about 3 cm per year. At this rate how long (in years) will it take for them to drift 1590 m further apart than at present? yr
The density of the earth's atmosphere follows an exponential function, D(h) = 1.3 e-h/7640 where h is the distance above the earth's surface in meters and D is the density in kg/m. What mass of air sits above a Im? area on the surface? (You can ignore the curvature of the earth's surface: that will contribute very little extra efect.)
You receive orders to sail due east for 24.6 mi to put your salvage ship directly over a sunken pirate ship. However, when your divers probe the ocean floor at that location and find no evidence of a ship, you radio back to your source of information, only to discover that the sailing distance was supposed to be 24.6 nautical miles, not regular miles. Use the Length table below to calculate how far horizontally you are from the pirate ship.

The acceleration due to gravity, g, is constant at sea level on the Earth's surface. However, the acceleration decreases as an object moves away from the Earth's surface due to the increase in distance from the center of the Earth. Derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at a distance h above the surface of the Earth, gh. Express the equation in terms of the radius R of the Earth, g, and h. &h= Suppose a 74.35 kg hiker has ascended to a height of 1893 m above sea level in the process of climbing Mt. Washington. By what percent has the hiker's weight changed from its value at sea level as a result of climbing to this elevation? Use g = 9.807 m/s² and R = 6.371 × 106 m. Enter your answer as a positive value. weight change = %

Milk is poured into a bowl at a constant rate of 17.0 cm3/s. The bowl has a circular cross section, but does not have a uniform diameter. (That is, different horizontal cross sections taken at different heights of the bowl have different diameters.) (a) As the milk fills the bowl, the milk level reaches a point where the diameter of the bowl is d1 = 1.45 cm. What is the rate (in cm/s) at which the milk level rises at this diameter? (b) As the milk continues to fill the bowl, the milk level reaches a point where the diameter of the bowl is d2 = 5.30 cm. What is the rate (in cm/s) at which the milk level rises at this diameter?
