A ferry boat travels 9 kms in 45 minutes. What is the speed of the boat? The ship sails 20 km South, then 15 km East. Find the magnitude of the resultant vector.
An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0 km/hourkm/hour is blowing southward. The speed of the plane relative to the air (called the "air speed") as measured by instruments aboard the plane is 310 km/hourkm/hour . In which direction should the pilot head? a)What is the speed of the air relative to a person standing on the ground, vA/G? What is the speed of the plane relative to the air, vP/A?
You are in a hot-air balloon that, relative to the ground, has a velocity of 4.84 m/s in a direction due east. You see a hawk moving directly away from the balloon in a direction due north. The speed of the hawk relative to you is 2.54 m/s. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the hawk's velocity relative to the ground? Express the directional angle relative to due east.
Can you help me with this problem? A bald eagle flies 5.75 m/s north relative to the air. There is a wind that is blowing east to west at 3.25 m/s. What is the magnitude and direction angle relative to the ground of the bald eagle velocity? Assume the y axis is north/south and the x axis east and west
An airplane sets a compass course due west and maintains an airspeed (speed relative to the air) of 220 km/hr. After flying for 0.500 hours, the pilot finds herself over a town 120 km west and 20.0 km south of her starting point. a) Find the velocity of the wind (magnitude and direction). b) If the air speed is the same, but the wind is 40.0 km/hr due south, in what direction should the pilot fly to travel due west?
Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. One goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 42 km/h wind is blowing from west to east. a) At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground? b) How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 km from north to south? (Note: Even on cloudy nights, many birds can navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction.)
