10. A pilot maintains a heading due west with an air speed of 240 km/h. After flying for 30 min,he finds himself over a town that he knows is 150 km west and 40 km south of his starting point.(a) What is the wind velocity, in magnitude and direction?(b) What heading should he now maintain, with the same air speed, to follow a course due westfrom the town?

San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal is trying to shoot t-shirts into the crowd at Oracle Park. Lou wants to deliver a t-shirt into the hands of a fan standing 40 m away horizontally but 16 m above the launch point. If he angles the t-shirt cannon 45 degrees above the horizontal, what speed does the cannon need to launch at to get the t-shirt to the fan? (You can ignore air resistance in this problem).

A Motorcycle Jump. You are planning to make a jump with your motorcycle by driving over a ramp that will launch you at an angle of 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. The front edge of the ramp on which you are supposed to land, however, is 25.0 ft lower than the edge of the launch ramp (ie., your launch height). (a) Assuming a launch speed of 65.0 mph, at what horizontal distance from your launch point should the landing ramp be placed? (b) In order to land smoothly, the angle of the landing ramp should match the direction of your velocity vector when you touch down. What should be the angle of the landing ramp?

A plane wishes to fly to an airport located 540 km [N30°W]. There is a wind blowing at 45 km/h from the west. If the plane wishes to arrive in 1.5 hr, what airspeed and heading must it have? Include a labelled diagram.
Question: Diego is getting hungry and acting like a typical saber-toothed tiger. He visualizes Sid as a hunk of meat and begins to chase him frantically around the ground. First, Sid darts 50.0 meters at 35.0° NoW and then turns abruptly and races 40.0 m S. If Manny ran from where they were originally standing to where Sid ended up, how far and in what direction would Manny have to run to break up the fight? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 42.5 m @ 15.5° SoW Thanks!!
