An airline pilot begins a trip to Duluth from an airport located 1500 km (directly) south of Duluth. Her air speed (that is, speed relative to the air) is 260 m/s, but a wind blows from west to east at 40 m/s that takes her off course if she flies directly north (that is, heading north relative to the air). She has the choice of heading slightly westward so that the wind causes her to end up at Duluth or heading due north until she reaches a position directly east of Duluth and then heading west into the wind to Duluth. Find the flight time for each option, and show that heading slightly westward saves about 16 min. You will want to find the plane's ground speed in each case; drawing out the velocity vectors will help.]

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 12 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h = 12t − 1.86t2. (a) find the velocity of the rock after two seconds. m/s (b) find the velocity of the rock when t = a. 12−3.72a m/s (c) when will the rock hit the surface? (round your answer to one decimal place.) t = s (d) with what velocity will the rock hit the surface? m/s

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".
