Two rowers, who can row at the same speed in still water, set off across a river at the same time. One heads straight across and is pulled downstream by the current. The other one heads upstream at an angle so as to arrive at a point opposite the starting point. Which rower reaches the opposite side first? Explain.
Two planes approach each other head-on. Each has a speed of 780 km/h, and they spot each other when they are initially 10.0 km apart. In how much time do the pilots have to take evasive action?
A delivery truck travels 21 blocks north, 16 blocks east, and 26 blocks south. What is its final displacement from the origin? Assume the blocks are equal length.
A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3鈥41). (a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m. (b) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that 鈥渢akeoff angle鈥 is 7.0掳 above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?

A person going for a morning jog on the deck of a cruise ship is running toward the bow (front) of the ship at 2.0 m/s while the ship is moving ahead at 8.5 m/s. What is the velocity of the jogger relative to the water? Later, the jogger is moving toward the stern (rear) of the ship. What is the jogger鈥檚 velocity relative to the water now?
