A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent’s goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball’s velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.0 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity relative to himself. If has magnitude 6.0 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?

A hiker walks from (x1, y1) = (4.00 km. 3.00 km) to (x2, y2) = (3.00 km, 6.00 km), (a) What distance has the traveled? (b) The hiker desires to return to his starting point. In what direction should he go? (Give the angle with respect to due cast.) (See Sections 3.2 and 3.3.)
The 18th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Course is a dogleg to the left of length 496.0 m. The fairway off the tee is taken to be the x-direction. A golfer hits his tee shot a distance of 200.0 m, corresponding to a displacement Ar, 200.0 m î, and hits his second shot 190.1 m with a displacement Ar, 170.0 m î + 85.0 m j. What is the final displacement of the golf ball from the tee (in m)? (Express your %3D %3D answer in vector form.) Ar. total m
The velocity of a particle is V and is constant. It moves counterclockwise on a circle with center "O" and radius R. Draw the circle. When the particle is in the vector R position, draw vector R, vector V, vector A, and vector da/dt(time derivative of acceleration).
The eguation r(t)= (3t+ 9) i + (8t - 2) j+(4t) k is the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the particle's velocity and acceleration vectors. Then write the particle's velocity at t= 0 as a product of its speed and direction. What is the velocity vector? v(t) = (D i+ (Di+ k
A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
For safety reasons, park rangers decide to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. They fire an artillery shell at an angle of 520 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 295 m/s. Thirty seconds later they see the explosion. What is the x coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to the firing point?
If the vector components of the position of a particle moving in the xy plane as a function of time are x = (2.8 m/s2)t2 and y = (6.4 m/s3)t3, at what time t is the angle between the particle's velocity and the x axis equal to 45°?
The figure shows the path taken by a drunk skunk over level ground, from initial point i to final point f. The angles are e, = 32.0°, e, = 49.0°, and0z = 84.0°, and the distances are d= 4.80 m, d2 = 7.30 m, and dz = 10.0 m. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle of the skunk's displacement from i to f?

The position vector of a particle in 2D is given by r(t) = (bwt + b sin(wt)) â + (b + bcos (wt)) ŷ, where b and w are constants. Find the velocity, v(t), and acceleration, a(t), of the particle. Is the speed of the object constant?
At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 9.50 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction). He then throws the football straight downfield 60.0 yards in a direction perpendicular to the y-axis (in the +x-direction). What is the magnitude of the displacement (in yards) of the ball? What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 60.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown. What is the magnitude of the football's total displacement (in yards) from where the quarterback took the ball to the end of the receiver's run?

On the roof of a 24 meter high building there is a cannon. The barrel of the cannon is 4.0 meters long and forms the angle ? = 30° up from the horizontal. When the cannon is fired, the cannon ball leaves the muzzle the cannon barrel with the initial speed of 360 km/h regardless of the angle of the barrel. Suppose you find yourself in one area which, with the exception of the building you are standing on, is completely flat. How long does it take for the bullet to hit the ground?
