A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?
In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?

Here you are designing a motorcycle stunt where the motorcycle leaves a ramp at an angle θ and lands on another ramp of the same height. You need to know where to place the second ramp. You will make a mathema1cal model to predict the range (i.e., to predict how far the motorcycle will land from the first ramp).
pls answer this 100% corrctly thank you! A small airplane starts flying at a constant speed of 442 km/h on a heading of N72W. A 53 km/h wind is blowing from N41W. Determine the ground velocity of the airplane. Give direction as a quadrant bearing. Include diagram showing the vector addition with your solution.
5. A ball is thrown following a projectile motion, it is known that the horizontal distance (range) the ball can travel is given by R= sin 24, where r is the range (in feet), vy is the initial speed (in ft/s), B is the angle of elevation the bal is thrown, and g=32 ft/s? is the acceleration due to gravity. a. Express the new range in terms of the original range when an angle 8 (0< @ < 45°) is doubled. b. If a balt travels a horizontai distance of 20 t when kicked at an angle of a with initial speed of 20/2 fus, find the horizontal distance it can travel when you double z. Hint: use result of item (a).
