Chapter 10, Problem 4AP
A buoy marking the turn in the ocean swim leg of a triathlon becomes unanchored. If the current carries the buoy southward at 0.5 m/s, and the wind blows the buoy westward at 0.7 m/s, what is the resultant displacement of the buoy after 5 min? (Answer: 258m; ∠ = 54.5° west of due south)

When Galileo Galilei pushed a ball down an inclined plane, it had an initial velocity (vo) of 4.0 meters per second (time = 0 seconds) and a final velocity (vf) of 10.0 meters per second (time = 2 seconds). How far did the ball travel along the inclined plane in these 2 seconds?
14 meters
20 meters
28 meters
40 meters
84 meters
why is the maximum velocity in the michaeli's equation not touching the rectangular hyperbolic curve
The above computation of gravitational force between two celestial objects (like Earth and the moon) is based on which equation?
(V1)(P1) = (V2)(P2)
F = GM1M2/d2
(years)2 = (A.U.)3
vm = ½ (vo + vf)
S = vot + ½ (a) t2
