A swimmer is capable of swimming 0.95 m/s in still water.
(a) If she aims her body directly across a 150 m wide river whose current is 0.55 m/s, how far downstream (from a point opposite her starting point) will she land? (m)
(b) How long will it take her to reach the other side?(s)

The velocity of the swimmer perpendicular to the direction of the stream
vp = 0.95 m/s
Scientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, this gun accelerates a 5.0-kg projectile from rest to a speed of 4.0 x 10^3 m/s^2. The net force accelerating the projectile is 4.9 x 10^5 N. How much time is required for the projectile to come up to sp
1) a) Find the angle required to maximize the range down an incline which is pitched at an angle of −θ with respect to the horizontal and the projectile is shot an angle of φ above the incline at a speed of v0 .
b) Determine the distance down the incline at the angle found in a).
c) Plot the trajectory gi
Consider a projectile of mass m which is shot vertically upward from the surface of the earth with initial velocity V. Assume that the gravitational force acts downward at a constant acceleration g while the force of air resistance has a magnitude proportional to the square of the velocity with proportionality constant k>0 and a
A projectile is fired from ground level at time t=0, at an angle [THETA] with respect to the horizontal. It has an initial speed V0. In this problem we are assuming that the ground is level ...
