1.)A sailboat heads west at 10 km/h in a calm sea. If a breeze of 8.0 km/h [S40oW] begins to blow. What is the sailboat’s resultant velocity?

2.) A student is determined to test the law of gravity for himself. He walks off a skyscraper 320 m high with stopwatch in hand, and starts his free fall. Five seconds later, Superman arrives at the scene and dives off the roof to save the student. What must Superman’s initial velocity be in order to catch the student just before the student reaches the ground? (Assume that Superman’s acceleration is that of any freely falling body ( g = 9.81 m/s2)

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
