A 238U nucleus is moving in the x direction at 5.0×105 m/s when it decays into an alpha particle (4He) and a 234Th nucleus. If the alpha particle moves off at 22 degrees above the x axis with a speed of 1.1×107 m/s, a) What is the speed of the thorium nucleus and b) What is the direction of the motion of the thorium nucleus ( degrees clockwise from the x axis)?
You encounter a moving walkway that is 81 m long and has a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground. How long would it take you to cover the 81 m length of the walkway if, once you get on the walkway, you immediately turn around and start walking in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.6 m/s relative to the walkway? Express your answer using one significant figure.
A robotic vehicle, or rover, is exploring the surface of Mars. The stationary Mars lander is the origin of coordinates, and the sur-rounding Martian surface lies in the xy-plane. The rover, which we x = 2.0 m - 10.25 m > s22t2represent as a point, has x- and y-coordinates that vary with time:y = 11.0 m > s2t + 10.025 m > s32t3(a) Find the rover’s coordinates and distance from the lander at t = 2.0 s.

You are the captain of the John Paul Jones, Class-A Battleship on your way to kill the alien ship on the North side of Oahu, Hawaii. Your ship travels 10.36km [W650S] and then 5.60 km [S450W] to meet up with the alien ship. Determine your ship’s total displacement.
An experimentalist in a laboratory finds that a particle has a helical path. The position of this particle in the laboratory frme is given by r(t)= R cos(wt)i + R sin(wt)j + vztk R,vz, and w are constants.

A van had a small light in the ceiling of the cargo bay. When the van is accelerating east at a rate of 2.99 m/s^2, the light bulb rattles loose and falls to the floor. Determine the acceleration relative to the earth and its direction and the acceleration relative to the van and it’s direction.
When the moving sidewalk at the airport is broken, as it often seems to be, it takes you 50 s to walk from your gate to baggage claim. When it is working and you stand on the moving sidewalk the entire way, without walking, it takes 75 s to travel the same distance. How long will it take you to travel from the gate to baggage claim if you walk while riding on the moving sidewalk?

Two random particles X and Y were being studied by a individual. Upon observing, he defined the motion of the particles by ax = (5.2t — 5.2) m/s2 and ay = (11t 2- 22) m/s2 which are moving along a straight line and starting from rest at the origin s = 0. Determine (a) the total distance each has traveled in t = 5s and the (b) distance between them when t =5s
Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a level beach and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use is baseball, a stopwatch, and friend on the ground below with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher and knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is about v_0= 34 m/s. Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball, with no way to measure the ball’s initial trajectory, and he watches carefully. The ball rises and then falls, and after t_1= 0.510 s the ball is once again level with Bob. Bob cannot see we’ll enough to time when the ball hits the ground. Bob’s friend the measures that the ball hit the ground x= 127 m from the base of the cliff. How high above the beach was the ball when it was thrown? A projectile is launched from ground level with an initial speed of 45.5 m/s at an angle of 32.3 degrees above the horizontal. It strikes a target in the air 1.83 s later. What is the horizontal distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hits…
I am having trouble with a 3d motion problem. The problem is as follosw, "At t = 0, a particle moving in the xy plane with constant acceleration has a velocity of i = (3.00 i - 2.00 j) m/s and is at the origin. At t = 2.00 s, the particle's velocity is = (7.00 i + 8.20 j) m/s. (Use the following as necessary: t. Round your coefficients to two decimal places.)" The problem asks me to find acceleration of the particle at any time t and to find its coordinates at any time t. Thanks for the help
