4.1. (a) Taking the derivative with respect to time of the position function, we have \(\vec{v}\)(t) = 9.0t2 \(\hat{i}\) and \(\vec{v}\)(3.0s) = 81.0 \(\hat{i}\) m/s. (b) Since the velocity function is nonlinear, we suspect the average velocity is not equal to the instantaneous velocity. We check this and find$$\vec{v}_{avg} = \frac{\vec{r} (t_{2}) - \vec{r} (t_{1})}{t_{2} - t_{1}} = \frac{\vec{r} (4.0\; s) - \vec{r} (2.0\; s)}{4.0\; s - 2.0\; s} = \frac{(188.0\; \hat{i} - 20.0\; \hat{i})\; m}{2.0\; s} = 84.0\; \hat{i}\; m/s,$$ which is different from \(\vec{v}\)(3.0 s) = 81.0 \(\hat{i}\) m/s.
4.2. The acceleration vector is constant and doesn’t change with time. If a, b, and c are not zero, then the velocity function must be linear in time. We have \(\vec{v}\)(t) = \(\int \vec{a}\)dt = \(\int\) (a \(\hat{i}\) + b \(\hat{j}\) + c \(\hat{k}\))dt = (a \(\hat{i}\) + b \(\hat{j}\) + c \(\hat{k}\))t m/s, since taking the derivative of the velocity function produces \(\vec{a}\)(t). If any of the components of the acceleration are zero, then that component of the velocity would be a constant.
4.3. (a) Choose the top of the cliff where the rock is thrown from the origin of the coordinate system. Although it is arbitrary, we typically choose time t = 0 to correspond to the origin. (b) The equation that describes the horizontal motion is x = x0 + vxt. With x0 = 0, this equation becomes x = vxt. (c) Equation 4.27 through Equation 4.29 and Equation 4.46 describe the vertical motion, but since y0 = 0 and v0y = 0, these equations simplify greatly to become y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(v0y + vy)t = \(\frac{1}{2}\)vyt, vy = −gt, y = − \(\frac{1}{2}\)gt2, and vy2 = −2gy. (d) We use the kinematic equations to find the x and y components of the velocity at the point of impact. Using vy2 = −2gy and noting the point of impact is −100.0 m, we find the y component of the velocity at impact is vy = 44.3 m/s. We are given the x component, vx = 15.0 m/s, so we can calculate the total velocity at impact: v = 46.8 m/s and \(\theta\) = 71.3° below the horizontal.

4.5. 134.0 cm/s
4.6. Labeling subscripts for the vector equation, we have B = boat, R = river, and E = Earth. The vector equation becomes \(\vec{v}_{BE}\) = \(\vec{v}_{BR}\) + \(\vec{v}_{RE}\). We have right triangle geometry shown in the figure below. Solving for \(\vec{v}_{BE}\), we have$$v_{BE} = \sqrt{v_{BR}^{2} + v_{RE}^{2}} = \sqrt{4.5^{2} + 3.0^{2}}$$$$v_{BE} = 5.4\; m/s, \quad \theta = \tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac{3.0}{4.5}\right) = 33.7^{o} \ldotp\]
