You are driving south on a highway at 25 m/s (approximately 55 mi/h) in a snowstorm. When you last stopped, you noticed that the snow was coming down vertically, but it is passing the windows of the moving car at an angle of 32 degrees to the horizontal.
a) Estimate the speed of the snowflakes relative to the car.
b) Estimate the speed of the snowflakes relative to the ground.

You are in your car driving on a highway at 23 m/s when you glance in the passenger side mirror (a convex mirror with radius of curvature 150 cm) and notice a truck approaching. If the image of the truck is approaching the vertex of the mirror at a speed of 1.5 m/s when the truck is 2.0 m away, what is the speed of the truck relative to the highway?

You are driving down the highway at 14.9 m/s when you approach an automobile accident on the side of the road. To keep traffic away from it, a stationary police car has its siren going; to the police, the siren has a frequency of 1100 Hz. If the speed of sound in air is 332 m/s, what frequency (in Hz) will be heard by you in your car? If the relative motion in the previous question was reversed (i.e. if...

You are in your car driving on a highway at 25 m/s when you glance in the passenger- side mirror (a convex mirror with radius of curvature 150 cm) and notice a truck approaching. At a certain distance away, the image of the truck approaching the vertex of the mirror and the truck relative to the highway speeds are 2.0 m/s and 52 m/s, respectively. Find how far away was the truck?

1.Suppose you are trying to cross from the South bank to the North bank of a river in your covered wagon. With all your earthly possessions, you are able to move your wagon at a speed of 1.3 m/s with respect to the water. The crossing is normally perfectly safe, but it’s been a warm spring and the snow melt is causing the river to swell to 20.0 m wide and to flow quickly at 1.0 m/s to the west.a)In...
