In the figure, a ball is thrown leftward from the left edge of the roof, at height h above the ground. The ball hits the ground 1.80 s later, at distanced 26.0 m from the building and at angle 0 = 56.0° with the horizontal. (a) Find h. (Hint: One way is to reverse the motion, as if on videotape.) What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle relative to the horizontal of the velocity at which the ball is thrown (positive angle for above horizontal, negative for below)?

A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?
Check Your Understanding Verify that vector v V obtained in Example 2.14 is indeed a unit vector by computing its magnitude. If the convoy in Example 2.8 was moving across a desert flatland—that is, it the third component of its velocity was zero—what is the unit vector of its direction of motion? Which geographic direction does it represent?
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?

You wish to get to Target to purchase “high-quality” goods. To get toTarget from your current location, Google tells you to walk in a straightline for 1.35 km at an angle of 40.0◦south of east. Before going to Target,however, you want to grab a slice of pizza and then get some coffee. Thepizza place is 0.54 km from you at an angle of 60.0◦south of west. Fromthe pizza parlor, you must walk 2.1 km due east to get coffee. Just afteryou buy coffee, your phone dies. Use your understanding of vectors todetermine how far and in which direction you should walk to get to Target.
