- Rain is falling steadily, but there is no wind. You are on a bus that moves at 35.0 km/hr, and you see that the rain appears to be falling at an angle of 42o with respect to the vertical. What is the vertical speed of the rain drops?A cruise ship sails due north at 5.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 24.0° north of west at 6.00 m/s. What are the x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat? (Assume that the +x-axis is east and the +y-axis is north. Enter your answers in m/s.) HINT (a) x-component (b) y-component m/s m/sA glider aircraft initially traveling due west at 86.0 km/h encounters a sudden gust of wind at 40.0 km/h directed toward the northeast (see the figure below). What are the speed and direction of the glider relative to the ground during the wind gust? (The velocity of the glider with respect to the ground is the velocity of the gilder with respect to the wind plus the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground.)
- A military cargo plane is passing over a remote area of wilderness where it cannot make a safe landing. instead of landing the cargo it's dropped. The plane is flying at 284m/s horizontally at an altitude of 584m. How far out in front of the landing target should the cargo be let out the back of the plane?Rain is falling steadily, but there is no wind. You are on a bus that moves at 50.0 km/hr, and you see that the rain appears to be falling at an angle of 31o with respect to the vertical. What is the vertical velocity of the rain drops?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. Thirty seconds later they see the explosion. What is the x coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to the firing point?
- A cart is moving with a constant horizontal velocity of 5.00 m/s. A small pebble is launched from the front of the cart with a velocity of 8.00 m/s at 60.0° above the horizontal as measured relative to the cart (see figure) and experiences no significant air resistance. Cart 60° 8.00 m/s -5.00 m/s Just as the pebble returns to the level from which it was launched, what is its distance from the front of the cart? How far did the pebble travel from its launch point relative to the ground.jon kicks a soccer ball with an initial horizontal velocity of 15 m/s.

What is the velocity of the aircraft relative to the ground?
- A cruise ship sails due north at 4.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 24.0° north of west at 5.60 m/s. What are the x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat? (Assume that the +x-axis is east and the +y-axis is north. Enter your answers in m/s.)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.
