A physics teacher is on the west side of a lake and wants to swim across and end up at a point directly across from his starting point. He notices that there is a current in the lake and that a leaf floating by him travels 4.2 m [S] in 5.0 s. He is able to swim 1.9 m/s in calm water. a) Using a vector diagram, what direction will he have to swim in order to arrive at a point directly across from his position?

b) Calculate his velocity relative to the shore.

c) If the lake is 1.1 km wide, how long, in seconds, will it take him to cross?

The base of a 50-meter tower is at the origin; the base of a 50-meter tree is at (0, 50, 0). the ground is flat and the z-axis points upward. the following parametric equations describe the motion of six projectiles each launched at time t = 0 in seconds. (i) r (t) = (50 + t2)k (ii) r (t) = 2t2 j + 2t2k (iii) r (t) = 50 i + 50 j + (50 βˆ’ t2)k (iv) r (t) = 2t j + (50 βˆ’ t2)k (v) r (t) = (50 βˆ’ 2t) i + 2t j + (50 βˆ’ t)k (vi) r (t) = t i + t j + tk (a) which projectile is launched from the top of the tower and goes downward? at time t = , the projectile hits the ground at point (x, y, z) = . (b) which projectile hits the top of the tree?
