12. An eagle is flying due east at 8.9 m/s carrying a gopher in its talons.

The gopher
manages to break free at a height of 12 m. What is the magnitude of the gopher's velocity
as it reaches the ground? Note: effects of air resistance are not included in this
calculation.
A) 22 m/s
B) 18 m/s
C) 11 m/s
D) 9.8 m/s
E) 8.9 m/s

13. At time t = 0 s, a puck is sliding on a horizontal table with a velocity 3.60 m/s, 35.0°
above the +x axis. As the puck slides, a constant acceleration acts on it that has the
following components: ax = –0.360 m/s2 and ay = –0.980 m/s2. What is the velocity of the
puck at time t = 1.50 s?
A) 1.83 m/s, 12.0° above the +x axis
B) 2.04 m/s, 21.2° above the +x axis
C) 1.06 m/s, 11.7° above the +x axis
D) 2.48 m/s, 13.9° above the +x axis
E) 1.38 m/s, 15.2° above the +x axis

14. An airplane traveling north at 400 m/s is accelerated due east at a rate of 50 m/s2 for
6 s. If the effects of air resistance and gravity are ignored, what is the final speed of the
plane?
A) 300 m/s
B) 400 m/s
C) 500 m/s
D) 700 m/s
E) 800 m/s

For Problem 15, consider the following:

A spaceship is observed traveling in the positive x direction with a speed of 150 m/s when
it begins accelerating at a constant rate. The spaceship is observed 25 s later traveling
with an instantaneous velocity of 1500 m/s at an angle of 55° above the +x axis.

15. What was the magnitude of the acceleration of the spaceship during the 25 seconds?
A) 1.5 m/s2
B) 7.3 m/s2
C) 28 m/s2
D) 48 m/s2
E) 57 m/s2
