Several people stand on a bridge over a river. The bridge is not level, so the people are all different heights above the river. Each person throws a stone to the river. a) The first person is 26.8 m above the river and throws her stone with a speed of 16.6 m/s at an angle of 6 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). How long does it take her stone to hit the water, in seconds? b) The second person is 19.0 m above the river and throws his stone with a speed of 17.1 m/s at an angle of -21.4 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the range of his stone, in meters? c)The third person is 9.1 m above the river and throws their stone with a speed of 6.5 m/s at an angle of 9.3 degrees to the horizontal (positive degrees are above horizontal, negative degrees are below). What is the speed of this stone (in m/s) just before it strikes the river?
Geese migrate along north and south directions for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases traveling speeds up to about 100 km/h. If one such bird is flying at 100km/h relative to the air but there is a 34.0 km/h wind blowing from the west to east. A.) at what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head so that it will be traveling directly southward relative to the ground? Express answer in degrees b.) how long will it take the bird to cover a ground distance of 500 km from north to south? ( Note: Even on cloudy nights many birds navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction)

In the latest Indian Jones film, Indy is supposed to throw a grenade from his car, which is going 99.0 km/h , to his enemy's car, which is going 115 km/h . The enemy's car is 17.0 m in front of the Indy's when he lets go of the grenade.

A commercial jet sets its speed to 525 mph, and points its nose in the direction of 15 degrees west of north (-105 degrees from +x-axis). However, a strong jet stream is blowing at 110 mph at a direction of 20 degrees. The actual resultant velocity of the aircraft is the sum of these two vectors. a. Find the final velocity b. For this airspeed and wind velocity, find the angle west of due north that the nose will need to point in order for the final velocity to be due north.
