A football player catches a pass at the sideline d = 40.0 m from the end zone and runs downfield at an angle of  θ =250 with respect to the sideline at 8.0 m/s.  How long (in seconds) will it take the player to reach the end zone? Quiz Kinematics in Two Dimensions Problem 1 real.png

A satellite has two perpendicular thrusters with which it can maneuver. One thruster provides an acceleration of 8.0 m/s2 in the x-direction, while the other provides 4.5 m/s2 in the y-direction.  What is the direction of the satellite’s acceleration relative to the x-direction?

A satellite has two perpendicular thrusters it can use to maneuver. Suppose the satellite is traveling at 4600 m/s in the x-direction when it fires its thrusters giving an acceleration of 20.0 m/s2 in the x-direction and and acceleration of 15.0 m/s2 in the y-direction. What magnitude of displacement  has the satellite made after firing the thrusters for 70 s?

A satellite has two perpendicular thrusters it can use to maneuver. Suppose the satellite is traveling at 4600 m/s in the x-direction when it fires its thrusters giving an acceleration of 20.0 m/s2 in the x-direction and and acceleration of 15.0 m/s2 in the y-direction. If the thrusters fire for 70 s, how fast is the satellite traveling after firing?

A boat attempts to cross a 170 m wide river to reach a dock directly on the other side.  The boat heads out directly across the river, perpendicular to the bank, with the motor propelling it at 15.0 m/s across the water, but the river flowing at 5.0 m/s immediately begins pushing it down river.  How far down river ( in meters) from the dock does the boat end up when it reaches the opposite shore?
