Problem 1. An archer fish can bring down its prey, such as insects on a tree branch, by shooting a stream of water from its mouth to knock the prey down. It can even reach prey up to 1.5 m away. In one particular case, an "arch" of water leaves the mouth of an archer fish at a velocity of 3.3 m/s at an angle of 70° above the horizontal. (2A-1001) Calculate the highest point that this particular stream of water reaches.

Chinook salmon are able to move upstream faster by jumping out of the water periodically; this behavior is called porpoising. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s at an angle of 30°, sails through the air a distance L before returning to the water, and then swims a distance L under water at a speed of 3.70 m/s before beginning another porpoising maneuver. Determine the average speed of the fish.
After discovering that two hikers have been stranded on Devil’s Thumb Pass, the Colorado Search andRescue team sends out a plane with supplies for the hikers. Because the hikers are in an isolated location, theplane has to drop the supplies as it fies overhead (see Figure 1). If the plane is 235 m above the hikers andhas a horizontal speed of 200 km/h, how far away from the hikers should the supplies be dropped if they areto land at the hikers’ location?
A juggler throws balls straight up in the air. After the balls leave his hand and while it is in the air, explain WHY each of the following four statement is FALSE. Write the right answer. (a) The velocity of the ball is always in the same direction as it's acceleration. (b) The velocity of the ball is never in the same direction as it's acceleration. (c) The acceleration of the ball is zero. (d) The velocity of the pin is the same direction as it's acceleration on the way up.
3) A particle is moving along the surface of a vertical cylinder. The motion is described by the relationships: r = A, 0 = 2nt and z = B sin(2nnt). In these equations A and B are constants and n is an integer. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the particle at an arbitrary time t? Take g = 9.81 m/s² when you need to use it.

A hollow non-conducting spherical shell has inner radius R1 = 9 cm and outer radius R2 = 15 cm. A charge Q = -25 nC lies at the center of the shell. The shell carries a spherically symmetric charge density ρ = Ar for R1 < r < R2 that increases linearly with radius, where A = 17 μC/m4. What is the radial electric field at the point r = 2R2? Give your answer in units of kN/C.
