3.A hiker is travelling down a trail due east at 4 m/s. He spots a beat to his right and changes his path 58° north of east at a new pace of 17 m/s. Find the resultant velocity. 4. In 1926, Gertrude Ederle of the United States became the first woman to swim across the English Channel. Suppose Ederle swam 25.2 km east from the coast near Dover, England, then made a 90° turn and traveled south for 21.3 km to a point east of Calais, France. What was Ederle’s resultant displacement?

A train leaving Albuquerque travels 293 miles, due east, to Amarillo. The train spends a couple of days at the station in Amarillo and then heads back west 107 miles where it stops in Tucumcari. Suppose the positive x direction points to the east and Albuquerque is at the origin of this axis. a. What is the total distance traveled by the train from Albuquerque to Tucumcari? b. What is the displacement of the train for the entire journey? Give both answers in appropriate SI units.
A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00c north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0 west of north from Atlanta. Figure P3.18 shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. Figure P3.18
Two birds begin next to each other and then fly through the air at the same elevation above level ground at 22.5 m/s. One flies northeast, and the other flies northwest. After flying for 10.5 s, what is the distance between them? Ignore the curvature of the Earth.

1. A pilot in a small plane encounters shifting winds. He flies 26.0 kmkm northeast, then 45.0 kmkm due north. From this point, he flies an additional distance in an unknown direction, only to find himself at a small airstrip that his map shows to be 70.0 kmkm directly north of his starting point. What was the length of the third leg of his trip? What was the direction of the third leg of his trip? 2. A boat can travel 7.3 m/s in still water. It is crossing a 220 m wide river while pointed due east and the river is flowing at 3.7 m/s, north. What is the speed of the boat, relative to the shore? How long does it take to cross the river? How far downstream does the boat end up? 3. A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 14 m/sm/s . A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 15 m/sm/s relative to the…

1.A pilot diverted a CF-18 fighter jet 20.0 km [S 38.0° E] to avoid thunderstorm, and then flew 60.0 km [S 55.0° W] to get back on track heading to a military base in Trenton, Ontario. If the diversion lasted a total of 2.00 minutes, what was the average velocity of the jet during the diversion? 2 A pilot of a CF-18 fighter jet turns to get back to a military base in Trenton, Ontario. The jet banks the wings such that the lift of the wings has a component in the direction of the centre of the turn. The pilot wishes to turn the jet in a tight radius of 960.0 m while maintaining a constant circular speed of 1440 km/h. Determine the angle of bank needed, measured from the vertical.
