    A: Mario, a hockey player, is skating due south at a speed of 6.4 m/s relative to the ice. A teammate passes the puck to him. The puck has a speed of 11.0 m/s and is moving in a direction of 26° west of south, relative to the ice. What are the magnitude and direction (relative to due south) of the puck's velocity, as observed by Mario? B: The altitude of a hang glider is increasing at a rate of...

    When it is 159 m above the ground, a rocket traveling vertically upward at a constant 8.30 m/s relative to the ground launches a secondary rocket at a speed of 12.4 m/s at an angle of 53.0 ∘ above the horizontal, both quantities being measured by an observer sitting in the rocket. Air resistance should be ignored. Part A : Just as the secondary rocket is launched, what are the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity relative to the...

    A. A cannon is fired over level ground at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. The initial velocity of the cannonball is 500 m/s but because the cannon is fired at an angle, the vertical component of the velocity is 250 m/s and the horizontal component is 433 m/s. How long is the cannonball in the air? (Use g = -10 m/s2) B. A cannon is fired over level ground at an angle of 30 degrees to the...
