7. (M1) You are driving home from school steadily at 95 km/h for 180km. It then begins to rain and you slow to 65 km/h. You arrive home after driving 4.5h. (a) How far is your hometown from school? (b) What was your average speed? 11. (II) A car traveling 95 km/h is 210m behind a truck trav- cling 75 km/h. How long will it take the car to reach the ‘truck? 12, (II) Calculate the average speed and average velocity of a complete round trip in which the outgoing 250km is covered at 95 km/h, followed by a 1.0-h lunch break, and the return 250 km is covered at 55 km/h. 15. (111) A bowling ball traveling with constant speed hits the pins at the end of a bowling lane 16.5 m long. The bowler hhears the sound of the ball hitting the pins 2.805 after the ball is released from his hands. What is the speed of the ball, assuming the speed of sound is 340 m/s? 19. (II) A sports car moving at constant velocity travels 120m in S05. Ifit then brakes and comes to a stop in 40s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration (assumed constant) in m/s*, and in g's (g = 980m/s!)? 26. (Il) A world-class sprinter can reach a top speed (of about 11.5 m/s) in the first 18.0m of a race. What is the average acceleration of this sprinter and how long docs it take her to reach that speed? 30, (II) A car traveling 75km/h slows down at a constant 0.50 m/s* just by “letting up on the gas” Calculate (a) the distance the car coasts before it stops, (b) the time it takes to stop, and (c) the distance it travels during the first and fifth seconds. A space vehicle accelerates uniformly from 85 m/s to 162 m/s at 1 = 10.0s. How far did it move between = 20s and 1 = 6.08? 43, (ID) A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long wast in the air before returning to Earth? 46, (II) A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 24.0m/s. (a) How fast is it moving when it is at a ‘height of 13.0m? (6) How much time is required to reach this height? (c) Why are there two answers to (b)? 49. (II) A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.40 m/s. At a height of 105 m above the Earth, a package is dropped from the helicopter. How much time does it take for the package to reach the ground? [Hint. What is ty for the package?} (68. A stone is dropped from the roof of a high building. A second stone is dropped 1.30s later. How far apart are the stones ‘when the second one has reached a speed of 12.0 m/s? 5. (ID) Vis a vector 24.8 units in magnitude and points at an angle of 23.4° above the negative x axis (a) Sketch this vector. (b) Calculate V, and Vy. (¢) Use V, and V, to obtain (again) the magnitude and direction of V. [Note: Part (¢) is a good way to check if you've resolved your vector correctly.) 8 (II) An airplane is traveling 835 km/h in a direction 41.5° west of north (Fig. 3-34).

Give the resultant in terms of (a) components, (6) magnitude and angle with the +x axis. FIGURE 3-35 Problems 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. ‘Vector magnitudes are given in arbitrary units C(C=31.0) 15. (II) The summit of a mountain, 2450 m above base camp, is measured on a map to be 4580 m horizontally from the ‘camp in a direction 384° west of north. What are the compo- nents of the displacement vector from camp to summit: ‘What is its magnitude? Choose the x axis east, y axis north, 18. (1) A diver running 2.5 m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and 3.0s later reaches the water below. How high was the cliff and how far from its base did the diver hit the water? 22. (II) A football is kicked at ground level with a speed of 180 m/s at an angle of 31.0° to the horizontal. How much later does it hit the ground? 27. (II) A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 36.6 m/s lat an angle of 422° above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine (a) the maximum height reached by the projectile, (b) the total time in the air, (c) the total horizontal distance covered (that is, the range), and (d) the speed of the projectile 1.50 after firing. 43. (II) A person in the passenger basket of a hot-air balloon 48. (II) A boat, whose speed in still water is 2.50 m/s, must horizontally throws a ball ‘outward from the basket with speed 10.0m/s (Fig. 3-44). What initial velocity (magni- tude and direction) does the ball have relative to a person standing on the ground (a) if the hot-air balloon is rising at 3.0m/s relative to the ground during this throw, (b) if the hot-air balloon is descending at 3.0 m/s relative to the FIGURE 3-44 Problem 43. 49. (II) A child, who is 451m from the bank of a river, is being. carried helplessly downstream by the river's swift current ‘of 1.0m/s. As the child passes a lifeguard on the river's bank, the lifeguard starts swimming in a straight line (Fig 3-46) until she reaches the child at a point downstream. If the lifeguard can swim at a speed of 2.0m/s relative to the water, how long docs it take her to reach the child? How far downstream does the lifeguard intercept the child? cross a river and arrive at a point 118m upstream from where it starts (Fig. 3-45). To do so, the pilot must head the boat at a 45.0° upstream angle. What is the speed of the river's current? FIGURE 3-45 Problem 48.
