11. In FIGURE Q4.11, Yvette and Zack are driving down the freeway side by side with their windows down. Zack wants to toss his physics book out the window and have it land in Yvette's front seat. Ignoring air resistance, should he direct his throw outward and toward the front of the car (throw 1), straight outward (throw 2), or outward and toward the back of the car (throw 3 )? Explain.

A long string is wrapped around a diameter cylinder, initially at rest, that is free to rotate on an axle. The string is then pulled with a constant acceleration of until of string has been unwound. If the string unwinds without slipping, what is the cylinder’s angular speed, in , at this time?
21. I A kayaker needs to paddle north across a -wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the east at . The kayaker can paddle with a speed of .
a. In which direction should he paddle in order to travel straight across the harbor?
b. How long will it take him to cross?
22. II Susan, driving north at , and Trent, driving east at , are approaching an intersection. What is Trent's speed relative to Susan's reference frame?
20. I Mary needs to row her boat across a 100 -m-wide river that is flowing to the east at a speed of . Mary can row with a speed of .
a. If Mary points her boat due north, how far from her intended landing spot will she be when she reaches the opposite shore?
b. What is her speed with respect to the shore?
