exit lane, but 7.0 s later only +10 m/ (E) at the
S
exit ramp.

acceleration was constant during that interval
O +217 m (E)

A boat leaves the dock at t = 0 and heads out into a lake. The wind gives
the boat an initial velocity of 2.0m/si – 3.0m/sj. The boat accelerates
at 1.5m/s'? + 1.2m/s'}.
Find the position of the boat and its velocity att = 15 s. Assume the boat
is at the origin at t = 0.
A stone is thrown at a cliff with a height of h. If the stone is thrown with an initial speed of 42 m/s at an angle θ=60° and hits the cliff at A 5.5 seconds later, determine the speed of the stone when it hits A. Use g = 10 m/s/s.
