A group of Australian Army recruits is undergoing a navigation exercise. They are being closely tracked by the Unit's GPS Surveillance patrol. Surveillance patrol notice that the recruits are walking at 3.5 m s¹ North East and are heading way off course. They are told to adjust their bearing and speed so that they are heading dead north. They undergo a change in velocity of 4 m s¹. Determine their new velocity.

An object is moving with an initial velocity of 5.8 i m/s and a final velocity 13.8 i m/s. The time taken for acceleration is 2.2 seconds. Calculate the acceleration in m/s2 to 2 sf. In your answer, you do not enter the i unit vector, but you do need to enter negative signs, if appropriate. e.g. if your answer is a = -5.4 i m/s,2 you would enter -5.4

An airplane is flying 390 m/s due west at one moment and 450m/s due north 10.0 s later. Findthe plane’s average acceleration during that time. Express the average acceleration (A) in unitvector notation and then (B) magnitude angle form. Be sure to define your coordinate system.
An airplane leaves the runway heading south and flies for 2000km. It then heads 20 degree west to avoid a storm. After flying for 500km, it turns 40 degree toward the east and flies another 400km to its final destination. Calculate the displacement of the plane;s destination and the distance it travelled.
A beachgoer in Florida notices the waves crashing ashore are spaced 15 meters apart and hit the shore every 8 s. How fast (in m/s) are the waves traveling?
You are a member of a geological team in CentralAfrica. Your team comes upon a wide river that is flowing east. Youmust determine the width of the river and the current speed (the speedof the water relative to the earth). You have a small boat with an outboardmotor. By measuring the time it takes to cross a pond where thewater isn’t flowing, you have calibrated the throttle settings to the speedof the boat in still water. You set the throttle so that the speed of the boatrelative to the river is a constant 6.00 m/s. Traveling due north acrossthe river, you reach the opposite bank in 20.1 s. For the return trip, youchange the throttle setting so that the speed of the boat relative to thewater is 9.00 m/s. You travel due south from one bank to the other andcross the river in 11.2 s. (a) How wide is the river, and what is the currentspeed? (b) With the throttle set so that the speed of the boat relativeto the water is 6.00 m/s, what is the shortest time in which you couldcross the river,…
An object's position in the as a function of time obeys the equation; x(t) = 14.2/t2.17 + 5.1t3 where all constants have proper SI Units. What is the speed of the object in the x direction at t = 1.93 seconds?
I have no idea to how to start to this question: Wags (a dog) decides to go on a journey. He begins his journey by traveling 58 meters in a direction directly south. He then runs 100.0 meters in a direction 30◦north of west. During the last leg of his journey, he follows a scent for 59 meters in a direction 30◦east of north. What distance does Wags end up from his initial startingpoint?
A sailboat is traveling east at 5.5 m/s. A sudden gust of wind gives the boat an acceleration a = (1.15 m/s2 25° north of east). What is the boat's speed 10.0 seconds later when the gust subsides and what is the boat's direction (in deg north of east) 10.0 seconds later when the gust subsides?
