In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?
Check your Understanding A cyclist rides 3 km west and then tune around and tides 2 kin east. (a) What Is his displacement? (b) What is the distance traveled? (c) What is the magnitude of his displacement?
A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30 north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m south. Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?
What is the direction of the acceleration vector of a person on the spinning Earth if the person is (a) at the equator? (b) at some other latitude? (c) at the poles?
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?
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.
The navigator of an airplane plans a flight from one airport to another 1000.0 km away, in one direction 30 degrees east of north. The weather office informs him of a prevailing wind from the west of 75.0 km/h. The pilot wants to maintain an air speed of 250 km/h.A) What heading should the navigator give the pilot?B) How long will the flight take?C) How much time ddi the wind save?
Geese migrate along north and south directions for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases traveling speeds up to about 100 km/h. If one such bird is flying at 100km/h relative to the air but there is a 34.0 km/h wind blowing from the west to east. A.) at what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head so that it will be traveling directly southward relative to the ground? Express answer in degrees b.) how long will it take the bird to cover a ground distance of 500 km from north to south? ( Note: Even on cloudy nights many birds navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction)
A swan is flying at a speed of 17.5 m/s. There is a wind blowingfrom the East at 12.5 m/s. a) If the swan pointed due South, what would be the magnitude and direction of itsvelocity relative to the ground. b) If the swan wishes to travel due South, what would be the magnitude anddirection of its velocity relative to the ground. c) If the swan travels due South as in part b, what will be its displacement after 8.5hours?

An airplane heads due south at 140 m/s through a 20 m/s cross wind blowing from west to east. The resultant velocity of the airplane is O a 160 m/s, 8.13° east of south O b. 141.42 m/s, 8.13° east of south Oc 141.42 m/s, 8.13° south of east O d. 120 m/s, 8.13° east of south
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?
