Question

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 north of east

2. A kitty moves across a floor with an acceleration of 0.100 m/s² in a direction opposite to its velocity. The kitty has a velocity of 4.00 m/s after moving a distance 5.77 m across the floor. What was the initial speed of the kitty, in m/s? Enter only the numerical value (i.e. do not include the units!)

Answer 1

1 the direction of the sea cow as observed by the person on the shore is

34 degrees north of east.

2. The initial speed of the kitty = 4.14
