How are levees different than dams and other flood protection services?

The position of a dragonfly that is flying parallel to the ground is given as a function of time by r⃗ =[2.90m+(0.0900m/s2)t2]i^− (0.0150m/s3)t3j^. a: at what value of t does the velocity vector of the insect make an angle of 34.0 degree clockwise from the x-axis? b: at the time calculated in part (a), what is the magnitude of the acceleration vector of the insect? c : at the time calculated in part (a), what is the direction of the acceleration vector of the insect?

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i. e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i. e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)

Point charges q1=+2.00μc and q2=−2.00μc are placed at adjacent corners of a square for which the length of each side is 1.50 cm . point a is at the center of the square, and point b is at the empty corner closest to q2. take the electric potential to be zero at a distance far from both charges. part a what is the electric potential at point a due to q1 and q2? express your answer with the appropriate units.
