38. During takeoff, an airplane climbs with a speed of 180 m/s at an angle of 34° above the horizontal. The speed and direction of the airplane constitute a vector quantity known as the velocity. The sun is shining directly overhead. How fast is the shadow of the plane moving along the ground? (That is, what is the magnitude of the horizontal component of the plane's velocity?)

Q1: A ball is thrown horizontally from at A 50° and hits the ground (4.5 sec) later at B. the line of sight from A to B makes an angle of (50o) with the horizontal. Compute the magnitude of the initial velocity (u) of the ball.
3. A pilot is flying to a destination 230 km south of her current position. An air traffic controller tells her that the wind velocity (as seen on the ground) is 37 km/h [E25 °N]. She knows that the plane's speed is 281 km/h. a) Sketch the overall vectors of the plane to the ground, the plane to the air and the air to the ground. Write the equation for the velocity of the plane relative to the ground with the appropriate subscripts. b) Determine the heading of the plane (in what direction must the pilot fly to compensate for the wind?). Show your work. Label your vectors and label x and y components. c) How long will it take her to reach her destination if she goes at constant velocity with the heading you determined above? (Should it take longer or less time than with no wind?) d) How long would it take her to reach her destination if she went at constant velocity and there was no wind'?
