1. A certain sea cow can paddle 2.0 m/s in still water. If she attempts to cross a river, from the south bank to the north with a current of 3.0 m/s flowing toward the east by paddling entirely perpendicularly to the flow of the river, in what direction will she be traveling relative to an observer on shore? A. 12 degrees east of north B. 49 degrees west of south C. due east D. due north E. 34 degrees...

A 33.0 kgkg crate is initially moving with a velocity that has magnitude 3.53 m/sm/s in a direction 37.0 ∘∘ west of north. How much work must be done on the crate to change its velocity to 5.96 m/sm/s in a direction 63.0 ∘∘ south of east? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Jerome and Paul are competitive brothers. They live on a small farm on the northern bank of a river that runs purely east and west and that flows to the east at a rate of 1.200 m/s .   The brothers like to visit their Uncle Leo who lives on the southern bank of the river. The river is wide at this point, 1410.0 m across, and their uncle's dock is 205.0 m to the east of the point which is...

A Coast Guard ship is travelling at a constant velocity of 4.20 m/s [E], relative to the water. On his radar screen the navigator detects an object that is moving at a constant velocity. The object is located at a distance of 2310 m with respect to the ship, in a direction [E 32.0° S]. Six minutes Later, he notes that the objects position relative to the ship has changed to 1120 m [W 57.0° S]. What is the velocity...

Two manned satellites approach one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of 2.00 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity in meters per second? (Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite...
