2. A Russian balloonist floating at an altitude of 150 m accidentally drops his jug and
starts to ascend at the constant velocity of 1.2 m/s. How high will the balloon be
when the jug reaches the ground?
3. A driver becomes lost and travels 12 km west, 5 km south, and 8 km east. Find
the magnitude and direction of the cars displacement from the starting place.
2. A British parachutist bails out at an altitude of 150 m and accidentally drops his
eyeglass. If he descends at the constant velocity of 6 m/s, how much time separates

4. Two cars leave a crossroad at the same time, one headed north at 50 mi/h and
the other headed east at 70 mi/h. How far apart are they after 0.5 h? After 2 h?

pump reaches the water 4 s afterward. How high was the helicopter when the pump
was dropped? When the pump reaches the water?
2. The boat is heading northwest at 7 knots through a tidal stream that is flowing
southwest at 3 knots. Find the magnitude and direction of its velocity relative to the
earths surface.
3. A bicycle and its rider together have a mass of 80 kg. If the bicycles speed is 6
m/s, how much force is needed to bring it to a stop in 4 sec?
