A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure 1.69

A point moves in a circle at a constant speed of 35cm/sec. The period of one complete journey around the circle is 20sec. At t = 0 the line to the point from the center of the circle makes an angle of 30° with the x axis. a) Obtain the equation of the x coordinate of the point as a unction of time, in the form x = A cos (ωt + φ), giving the numerical values of A, ꞷ and φ. b) What are the values of x, dx/dt, and d2x/dt2 at t = 4 sec.

Suppose we are told that the acceleration a of a particle moving with uniform speed ν in a circle of radius r is proportional to some power of r, say rn, and some power of ν, say νm. Determine the values of n and m and write the simplest form of an equation for the acceleration.
An object's velocity as a function of time in one dimension is given by the expression; v(t) = 3.8t + 6.68 where are constants have proper SI Units. At what time is the object's velocity 61.2 m/s?
The equation r(t) = ( sin t)i + ( cos t)j + (t) k is the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the particle's velocity and acceleration vectors. π Then write the particle's velocity at t= as a product of its speed and direction. The velocity vector is v(t) = (i+j+ k.
I am doing a free-fall experiment for Physics and I need to make a position vs. time graph using the average value of release heights that I obtained. Do you know how I would be able to find the values for the time and position graph? The average value of release height is 1.9720736 m.
A passenger in a train moving at 30 m/s passes a personstanding on a station platform at t=t'=0. Twenty secondsafter the train passes, the person on the platform determines thata bird flying along the tracks in the same direction as the trainis 800m away. Five seconds later, the bird is 850maway. Assume a constant velocity for all involved. a) Draw a coordinate system indicating the motion of bird andtrain in the grame of the observer on the platform b) What are the coordinates of the bird as determined by thepassenger? c) Find the velocity of the bird as determined by the observeron the platform and the train passenger.
