While a helicopter hovers 1000 ft above the water, its pilot spies a man in a lifeboat through an angle of depression of 28°. Along a straight line, a rescue boat can also be seen through an angle of depression of 14°. How far is the rescue boat from the lifeboat? 28
Problem 8 It is raining outside. From the perspective of an observer standing on the ground, the raindrops are falling vertically downward at a speed of 12 m/s. You are driving down the highway at a speed of 65 mph (29 m/s). What angle, relative to the horizontal will you see the raindrops falling?
A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train traveling along a strait, horizontal track at a constant speed of 16ˍm/s. The student throws a ball into the air along a path he judges to make an initial angle of 64° with the horizontal (toward the rear of the car) and to be in line with the track. The student’s professor, who is standing on the ground nearby, observes the ball to rise vertically. With what initial speed does the professor see the ball rise?
Passengers in the jet transport A flying east at speed of 800km/h observe a second jet plane B that passes under the transport in horizontal flight. Although the nose of B is pointed in the 45° in the northeast, plane B appears to the passengers in A to be moving away from the transport at the 60° angle determine the true velocity of B.

A camera operator is filming a nature explorer in the Rocky Mountains. The explorer needs to swim across a river to his campsite. By watching debris flowing down the river, the operator estimates that the stream is flowing at 0.633 m/s. In still water, the explorer can swim at 0.759 m/s. At what angle, less than 90°, with respect to the shoreline should the operator advise him to swim so that he travels directly across the stream to his campfire? angle: 33.389 The water is near freezing in temperature. Typically a human can only swim in such water for about 300 s (or 5 min) before hypothermia sets in. Calculate the time the explorer spends in the water if the river is 28.3 m wide. time in the water: 81.03 S Incorrect Based on the results, what should the camera operator's decision be about the explorer's swim? Approved. He will get cold but he should be able to make it across. Sorry, but the swim must be cancelled. He will never make it across in time.

New York Rangers defenseman Daniel Girardi stands at the goal and passes a hockey puck 20 m and 45° from straight down the ice to left wing Chris Kreider waiting at the blue line. Kreider waits for Girardi to reach the blue line and passes the puck directly across the ice to him 10 m away. What is the final displacement of the puck?
