SHORT ANSWER!
1. An arrow is launched at 30 above the horizontal from the ground. When the arrow is 19.4m above the ground and 140m right from where it was launched, is the arrow rising or falling? ! /6!

2. A swimmer would like to cross a river that is 0.55 km wide. The current ows uniformly at 1.8m/s. The swimmer wants to land directly across the river. Unfortunately, the swimmer doesnt have a good understanding of physics and guesses the heading. The swimmer heads upstream at 45 with a constant speed of 3.0m/s. Does the swimmer land directly across? If not, by how much did the swimmer miss by and in what direction?! /5"

3. A plane is ying to a nal distinction of 2000km [N30W] from its current position. The wind is blowing at 80km/h [SE]. If the pilot wants to arrive at the nal destination within 5 hours, what should the pilots airspeed and heading be?!

4. A football with an initial speed of 20.0m/s at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal is thrown towards a receiver at rest. The receiver is 20.0m from the quarterback. What is the minimum acceleration the receiver must move at in order to catch the football at the level at which it was thrown?! /6!

5. A car is travelling at 30km/h [W] into a turn. The car exists the turn at 40km/h[N]. What is the cars change in velocity?! /2"

Upward during ascent and downward during descent! Upward during both ascent and descent! Downward at al times except at the very top, when it is zero!

6. A bomber ying in level ight with constant velocity releases a bomb before it is over the target. Neglecting air resistance, which one of the following is NOT true?! A. The bomber is over the target when the bomb strikes! B. The acceleration of the bomb is constant! C. The horizontal velocity of the plan equals the vertical velocity of the bomb when it hits the target! D. The bomb travels in a circular path! E.
