10 A river is flowing at a speed of 1.5 m/s. Sam wants to row from point A on one bank to point B on the other bank directly opposite A. He intends to maintain a constant speed of 2.5 m/s. In what direction, correct to the nearest degree, should Sam row? Give your answer as an angle of inclination to the line AB.

A sailor wants to navigate his boat such that it travels East. The boat has an engine and can travel at 8ms' under normal conditions (no wind). A wind blows on a bearing of 150° with a magnitude of 6ms a) What angle (as a bearing) should the sailor steer his ship to. b) What is the magnitude (speed) of the resultant velocity? I
A commercial jet sets its speed to 525 mph, and points its nose in the direction of 15 degrees west of north (-105 degrees from +x-axis). However, a strong jet stream is blowing at 110 mph at a direction of 20 degrees. The actual resultant velocity of the aircraft is the sum of these two vectors. a. Find the final velocity b. For this airspeed and wind velocity, find the angle west of due north that the nose will need to point in order for the final velocity to be due north.
A firefighter, a distance d from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a fire hose at angle ?i above the horizontal as in the figure. If the initial speed of the stream is vi, at what height h does the water strike the building? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.)
You want to fly your small plane due north, but there is a 75-kilometer wind blowing from west to east. Solve, a. Find the direction angle for where you should head the plane if your speed relative to the ground is 310 kilometers per hour. b. If you increase your airspeed, should the direction angle in part (a) increase or decrease? Explain your answer.
A dolphin wants to swim directly back to its home bay, which is 0.800 km due west. It can swim at a speed of 4.20 m/s relative to the water, but a uniform water current flows with speed 2.83 m/s in the southeast direction. a. What direction should the dolphin head? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates south of west and negative indicates north of west. anser in degrees b. How long does it take for the dolphin to swim the 0.800-km distance home? answer in min
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.
A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried downstream by a current that has a speed of 2.65km/h. The child is 0.625km from shore and 0.840km upstream of a boat landing when a rescue boat sets out. a. If the boat proceeds at its maximum speed of 21.9km/h relative to the water, what heading relative to the shore should the captain take? b. What angle (in degrees) does the boat velocity make with the shore? c. How long does it take the boat to reach the child?

Sheena can row a boat at 3.20 mi/h in still water. She needs to cross a river that is 1.20 mi wide with a current flowing at 1.80 mi/h. Not having her calculator ready, she guesses that to go straight across, she should head upstream at an angle of 25.0° from the direction straight across the river. a.)How far upstream or downstream from her starting point will she reach the opposite bank? If upstream, enter a positive value and if downstream, enter a negative value. b.)In order to go straight across, what angle upstream should she have headed?
A boat is able to move at 9.8 m/s in still water. If the boat is placed on the south shore of a river (water current of 3.4 m/s [SE]), and the captain wants to head straight across to the north shore: a. In what direction should the captain point the boat? b. Calculate the time it will take to cross (the river is 135.0 m from the south to the north shore).
Water from a fire hose is directed toward a building as shown in the figure below. The water leaves the hose at a speed of v, = 40.0 m/s and at an angle of 0, = 35.0° above the horizontal. The base of the hose (at ground level) is a horizontal distance d = 49.0 m away from the building. Find the height h (in m) where the water strikes the building. %3D m
