A man on a motorcycle traveling at a uniform
speed of 10 m/s throws an empty can straight
upward relative to himself with an initial speed
of 3.0 m/s. Find the equation of the trajectory as
seen by a police officer on the side of the road.
Assume the initial position of the can is the
point where it is thrown. Ignore air resistance.

A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 17.0 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.291 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 54.3 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction.
For safety reasons, park rangers decide to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. They fire an artillery shell at an angle of 520 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 295 m/s.

A projectile is launch from ground level at an angle of 30.6 degrees relative to the horizontal. It returns back to the ground after a time of 2.27 s. What was the initial speed of the projectile?
A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 17.8 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.280 m/s2 in the +x direction. After 33.6 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction.
A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 24.6 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.201 m/s² in the +x direction. After 47.8 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster.
