A man can row a boat at 5 m/s in still water. He wishes to cross a 50-m wide river to point B 50m downstream. The river flows with a
velocity of 2 m/s.
Find the speed of the boat.
A) 5.39 m/s
B 7.46 m/s
6.21 m/s
D 2.16 m/s
E) 5.83 m/s
A roller-coaster goes over an 14 m tall hill then approaches a 25 m hill. What is the minimum velocity the roller-coaster would need when going over the 14 m hill to make it to the top of the 25 m hill?
A car traveling at 35 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while driving
up a 7° incline. How long will it take for the car to stop after it
runs out of gas (if it doesn't use its brakes and there is no
friction)? How far will it travel before it stops?
