A small boat with a speed of 23km/h relative to the water is
sailing in a sea which has a speed of 15 km/h relative to the shore
in a direction E 16 N. What direction is the boat heading
(relative to the water) if it is going in a direction N 32.7 E
(relative to the shore)?
Hint: Suggested steps: Interpret the situation in terms of the
relative velocity equation, indicating the meaning of all the
subscripts. Draw a diagram roughly to scale, including all of the
known information and using the parallelogram rule, on the
coordinate system below. Solve for unknowns using geometry and sine
and cosine laws.

A charge of -3.50 nCnC is placed at the origin of an xy-coordinate system, and a charge of 1.90 nCnC is placed on the yy axis at yy = 3.65 cmcm .
Part A: If a third charge, of 5.00 nCnC , is now placed at the point xx = 2.75 cmcm , yy = 3.65 cmcm find the xx and yy components of the total force exerted on this charge by the other two charges.
Part B: Find the magnitude of this force.
Part C: Find the direction of this force.

Newton's 2nd law says that when a larger force is applied to an object of mass m, the object will experience a larger acceleration. At the same time, you've learned that all objects experience the same acceleration in a free fall, even if their weights (the forces of gravity acting on them) are different. That sounds like a contradiction: on one hand, from the Newton's 2nd law, a larger force means larger acceleration, on the other hand when applied to motion under gravity - a larger weight (force) means the same acceleration for all objects. How do you reconcile these statements? Why isn't it a contradiction? Does gravity violate the Newton's second law or is there another explanation. Be as thorough and clear in your explanation as possible.

A student runs an experiment with two carts on a low-friction track. As measured in the Earth reference frame, cart 1 (m = 0.48 kg ) moves from left to right at 1.0 m/s as the student walks along next to it at the same velocity. Let the +x direction be to the right.
a) What velocity v⃗ E2,i in the Earth reference frame must cart 2 (m = 0.16 kg ) have before the collision if, in the student's reference frame, cart 2 comes to rest right after the collision and cart 1 travels from right to left at 0.33 m/s?
b) What does the student measure for the momentum of the two-cart system?
c) What does a person standing in the Earth reference frame measure for the momentum of each cart before the collision?

A watermelon seed has the following coordinates: x = -6.4 m, y = 5.0 m, and z = 0 m. Find its position vector as (a) a magnitude and (b) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis. If the seed is moved to the xyz coordinates (3.0 m, 0 m, 0 m), what is its displacement as (c) a magnitude and (d) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis? Put the angles in the range (-180°, 180°].

QUESTION How would the time of the jump and the horizontal distance traveled change if g were changed, for example if the jump could be repeated with the same initial velocity on a different planet? (Select all that apply.)
Note: I answered b and c from one of your previous post, and got the answer wrong.
a. The time of the jump increases when g is smaller.
b. The displacement increases with increased time of the jump.
c. The time of the jump decreases when g is smaller.
d. Increasing the time of the jump has no effect on the displacement.
e. The displacement decreases with increased time of the jump.

(b) What are the speed and direction of the mug at impact?
Speed____________m/s
Direction __________degree below the horizontal

The figure is an overhead view of a thin uniform rod of length 0.467 m and mass M rotating horizontally at angular speed 15.7 rad/s about an axis through its center. A particle of mass M/3 initially attached to one end is ejected from the rod and travels along a path that is perpendicular to the rod at the instant of ejection. If the particle's speed vp is 3.32 m/s greater than the speed of the rod end just after ejection, what is the value of vp?
