Conceptual Example 2 provides some relevant background for this problem. A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance o 13.0 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in front of the moon. As seen from the tower, the moon subtends an angle 8.60x10-3 radians. Find the distance traveled (in meters) by the jet as the observer watches the nose of the jet cross from one side o the moon to the other.

A Civil War cannon is placed at the base of a hill. The cannon is fired at an angle toward the hill. The path of the cannon ball is parabolic and can be represented by y = –0.04x2 + 4x + 1, where y represents the height of the ball in meters and x represents the horizontal distance of the ball from the cannon. The incline of the hill can be represented by the equation y = 0.8125x. How far will the cannon ball have moved horizontally from the cannon when it hits the hill?
Jack goes for a ride on a ferris wheel that has a radius of 37 meters. The center of the ferris wheel is 49 meters above the ground. He starts his ride at the 12 o'clock position and travels counter clockwise. Define a function g that represents Jack's horizontal distance in meters relative to vertical midline of the wheel in terms of the angle (measured in radians) Jack makes with the center.
Two toy racecars race along a circular race track. Both cars start at the 3-o'clock position and travel in the CCW direction. Let t represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. Imagine angles with terminal rays that pass through each car as it moves. Car A is constantly 4.5 feet from the center of the race track and travels a constant speed. The angle with a terminal ray passing through Car A sweeps out 2.5 radians per second. Write an expression (in terms of t) that represents Car A's vertical distance above the center of the race track in feet.
During a visit to New York City, Lil decides to estimate the height of the Empire State Building (see figure below). She measures the angle ? of elevation of the spire atop the building as 19°. After walking x = 9.42 ✕ 102 ft closer to the iconic building, she finds the angle to be 24.0°. Use Lil's data to estimate the height h of the Empire State Building. (Enter your answer to at least the nearest foot.)
A toy racecar races along a circular race track that has a radius of 32 meters. The racecar starts at the 3-o'clock position of the track and travels in the CCW direction. Suppose the racecar has traveled 51 meters along the race track. How many radians has the racecar swept out? __radians What is the racecar's distance to the right of the center of the race track (in meters)? ____ meters
You watch an ant crawl around on a piece of paper. The paper is 10.0 inches from top to bottom and 9.60 inches across. When you first look, the ant is at the top of the paper, in the middle of the page. It crawls around finally leaving the paper at the bottom right corner of the paper. Using a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the paper, the +x+x direction pointing to the right, and the +y+y direction point to the top of the page, what angle does the line from the origin to the ant's initial location make with the horizontal? Multiple choice: 43.9° above the horizontal 45° above the horizontal 90° above the horizontal 0° (along the horizontal) 46.2° above the horizontal

A spaceship travels through deep space to a space station and needs to make a heading correction to get around a nebula. The captain orders the ship to travel 3.1 x 106 kilometers before turning 70 ° and to travel 2.5 x 106 kilometers in that direction. If the captain had not ordered a heading correction, what would have been the magnitude (in kilometers) and the direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the + x-axis) (Counter clockwise: counterclockwise) of the trajectory of the spaceship if it had traveled through the nebula?
