0◦ counter
clockwise from the +x direction, and vector C has magnitude of 15.0 m and is angled 20.0◦
counter clockwise from the -x direction. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative
to +x) of B?
2. A vector B, when added to the vector C = 3.0i+4.0j, yields a resultant vector that is in the
positive y direction and has a magnitude equal to that of C. What is the magnitude of B?
3. A penny is dropped from the top of the Sears Tower in Chicago. Considering that the height
of the building is 427 m and ignoring air resistance, find the speed with which the penny strikes
the ground. The penny starts from y = 0.
4. A tennis ball is struck such that it leaves the racket horizontally with a speed of 28.0 m/s.
The ball hits the court at a horizontal distance of 19.6 m from the racket. What is the height of
the tennis ball when it leaves the racket?
5. A golf ball is hit at a speed of 35.0 m/s at 50.0◦ above the horizontal toward a large brick
wall whose base is 80.0 m from the point where the ball is launched. (a) At what height does
the ball strike the wall? (b) What is the speed of the ball when it hits? (c) When the ball hit the
wall was it still rising or was it descending?
6. From her bedroom window a girl drops a water–filled balloon to the ground, 6.0 m below.
If the balloon is released from rest, how long is it in the air?
7. A small mass moves on a circular path of radius 2.50 m with constant speed; it makes one
revolution every 3.20 s. (a) what is the speed of the mass? (b) What is the magnitude of its
centripetal acceleration?
