A woman on a bridge 103 m high sees a raft floating at a constant speed on the river below. She drops a stone from rest in an attempt to hit the raft. The stone is released when the raft has 6.95 m more to travel before passing under the bridge. The stone hits the water 4.58 m in front of the raft. Find the speed of the raft. Number i Units

A jeepney and a train are moving together along parallel paths at 30.0 m/s, with the jeepney adjacent to the rear of the train. The jeepney driver sees the traffic light turn red, so he accelerates at -2.50 m/s2, and then let his jeepney come to rest. The jeepney is at rest for 50.0 s, and then accelerates at 2.50 m/s2 to go back to a speed of 30.0 m/s. Assuming that the speed of the train remained constant at 30.0 m/s, how far is the jeepney from the rear of the train when the jeepney reaches a speed of 30.0 m/s?

A sailor is enjoying a nice day on his sailboat, sailing west with the wind at constant velocity. At one point the sailor spots an anchored buoy some distance to the east of the boat, and turns on his motor to head towards it. The boat kept gliding to the west for some distance before turning around and heading eastward. The boat was traveling initially with velocity v = -6.0i m/s and it took the the boat 2.0 s to turn around. What is the velocity of the boat, 5.0 s after the motor is turned on? The coordinate system is set up such that the +i direction is East. Pick the correct answer O +3.0î m/s O -9.0i m/s O -3.0î m/s o +9.0å m/s o +2.0i m/s
