100

You are on a train going 100 mph (relative to the ground) and see a plane in the air going in the same direction as you. The plane is going 150 mph (relative to the ground). This is how fast a person on the train sees the plane going.

What is 50 mph ?

100

These two vectors remain unchanged in the for the duration of any projectile's flight.

What is the horizontal velocity and acceleration?

100

vx and vy are described as ____________ of the vector v.

What are components?
200

A diver running 1.6m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and reaches the water 3.0s later. This is the distance away from the cliff they landed.

What is time?
300

A steel ball rolls with constant velocity on a tabletop 0.950 m high. It rolls off and hits the ground 0.352 m from the edge of the table. This is how fast was the ball rolling.

What is 0.8 m/s?

300

A tiger leaps horizontally from a 12m high rock with a speed of 4.5 m/s. This is how far from the base of the rock will she land.
