Usain Bolt is running with a velocity of +12m/s down the track. If the wind is blowing directly into his
face at 3m/s, what is Usain’s resultant velocity?

A plane is flying due east at 350mi/hr. The wind is blowing in the same direction at 25mi/hr. What is the
resultant velocity of the plane?

Two teams are playing tug-of-war. Team Roid Rage is pulling to the left with a force of 725N. Team
Clean is pulling to the right with a force of 655N. A) What is the resultant force felt? B) What would the

A boats engine can give it a velocity of 25m/s. If the boat heads due east across a river which is flowing
due south with a velocity of 8.5m/s; what is the resultant velocity of the boat? (Remember you must find
both a magnitude and direction!)

EXTRA CREDIT (do on back)


You walk 100m due north. You then turn and walk 55m due east. You then make another turn and walk
12m due south. What is the resultant vector for your walk?
