Bob is driving due east at 20 m/s and Alice is driving due north at 15 m/s. Alice throws a ball due west out her car window at a velocity v = 6 m/s. Bob sees the ball coming at him from what angle above due west? (Hint: Consider the velocity at which Bob sees the ball coming at him.)

(b) Alice is at the centre of a merry-go-round (carousel) of radius R. Bob watches from the side while Alice rotates on the merry-go-round. Alice throws a ball of mass m radially outwards with speed v, while she rotates with constant angular velocity w. Alice and Bob talk afterwards and she tells him how she saw the ball be deflected to the side, as if it were acted upon by some force. Help Bob explain this inertial force to Alice...
A 250-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 2.8m/s. A boat with a speed of 7.7m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank pointed in a direction 31o west of north. What is the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity relative to the ground? Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from due north, positive if to the east and negative if to the west.
A 200-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 3.4m/s. A boat with a speed of 8.4m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank pointed in a direction 34o west of north.

Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from due north, positive if to the east and negative if to the west. (c) How long does it take...
A 250-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 4.0m/s. A boat with a speed of 6.9m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank pointed in a direction 26o west of north. What is the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity relative to the ground? Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from due north, positive if to the east and negative if to the west. (c) How long does it take...
Mike is in the back of a truck moving due east at a constant velocity of 20 m/s relative to the ground, if Mike throws an apple straight out the back of the truck (west) at a velocity of 15 m/s relative to the truck, what is the velocity of the apple relative to the ground? m/s What is the velocity of the apple relative to the ground if Mike throws the apple towards the front of the truck...
Matt is in a rowboat with a velocity of 1.3 m/s due East and the North bank is another 21` m away. He rows at an angle of 31° W of N (upstream) at a speed of 0.77m/s. 4) How long does it take you to reach the other side of the river? 5) How far downstream did Matt end up? Brian uses a nerf gun with a velocity of 63 m/s. If he is aiming to hit a can...
A 280-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 4.4m/s. A boat with a speed of 6.9m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank pointed in a direction 33owest of north. What is the (a) magnitude and (b)direction of the boat's velocity relative to the ground? Give the direction as the angle of the velocity from due north, positive if to the east and negative if to the west. (c) How long does it take for the...
the resultant vector
Points: 3 15) Vector - 8,0 m and pointe So north of east. Vector 7.5.0 m and pointe 30 weet of south. The resultant vector - P.7 is given by (Show work or explain your answer, no work or explaination, no credit, no kidding Hint: Draw a diagram and make the shart A) 12 m at an angle 30° east of south.

A 321-kg boat is sailing 10.0° north of east at a speed of 2.00 m/s. 30.0 s later, it is sailing 33.0° north of east at a speed of 4.10 m/s. During this time, three forces act on the boat: a 32.3-N force directed 10.0° north of east (due to an auxiliary engine), a 23.9-N force directed 10.0° south of west (resistance due to the water), and (due to the wind). Find the (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of...
A billiard ball is shot east at 2.80 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 1.20 m/s. The balls has a glancing collision, not a head-on-collision, deflecting the second ball by 90° and sending it north at 1.60 m/s. What is the angle that the velocity of the first ball makes after the collision, with respect to the east direction?
