The well-fed ants of the Fourth North Creek Ant Colony maintain and adhere to a straight trail along the ground between the nearby picnic table and the hole leading to their underground nest. In the colony's folklore, this trail has been known since ancient times as the x-axis. One member of the colony, returning to the nest after quenching its thirst with a serious portion of a tasty beverage dripping from the picnic table, is observed first at position x¡ = 9.63 m on the trail. Then it is seen staggering back and forth along the trail, eventually stopping for a nap at position xf = 8.17 m exactly 87.7 s later. Find the ant's average velocity during this time interval.

Professional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected.

A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 107 m and a takeoff speed 77 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35's acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 4.8 m/s2 at 23° with respect to the horizontal.

When a chronometer begins with a time of zero seconds, matching soccer balls have a horizontal separation, d=6.28m. The ball on the left is released from the ground with an initial velocity of magnitude v0 directed toward the other soccer ball. The ball on the right has an initial height h1=3.17m and is momentarily at rest. A short time later, the matching soccer balls collide at the collision point, C, at a height h2-1.69m above the ground, as indicated on the diagram. Ignore the finite size of the balls, and additionally ignore any air resistance. (Dimensions are not to scale.) Part (a) Given the numeric values in the problem statement, tabulate the elapsed time, in seconds, at which the matching soccer balls collide. Part (b) Given the numeric values in the problem statement, tabulate the magnitude, in meters per second, of the initial velocity of the soccer ball on the left.
