4. Swims across Lake Erie are officially sanctioned by the Lake Erie Open Water Swimming Association. Your friend on the swim team wants to swim across the lake. The plan is that your friend will swim to Presque Isle starting at a location at Long Point, Ontario which is 24 miles due north of Presque Isle. You will be navigating a boat with a GPS. Your friend can maintain a speed of 1.80 mph in still water. All during the swim you observe that objects drifting in the water are moving at 0.70 mph to the east due to the current. a. What bearing should you maintain? That is what direction should you point the boat to reach Presque Isle? Give your answer relative to a compass direction (i.e., 30° north of west). Hint, you want your net velocity vector to be straight south. b. How long did it take your friend to swim across Lake Erie? c. What is the addition amount of time that your friend will need to swim compared to if there was no current (assume your friend swims at a constant rate)?
A jet airliner is moving east at 225 m/s, but experiences a head wind heading north at 50.0 m/s. c) What does it mean to determine the direction of the airliner in a ...right triangle?
A plane is traveling straight east at a speed of 400 km/hr. Then a wind traveling 100 km/hr blowing straight south starts. Draw a picture representing this problem. What direction and how fast will the school lane be going?
Two trains are 900.0 kilometers apart. One is in Portland. The other is in San Francisco. They both begin traveling toward each other at the same time. The Portland train travels with an average velocity of 80.0 km/hr South. The San Francisco train travels North with an average velocity of 65.0 km/hr North.a. At what time will the two trains meet?b. How far away will they be from Portland when they meet?
The earth's crust is broken up into a series of more-or-less rigid plates that slide around due to motion of material in the mantle below. Although the speeds of these plates vary somewhat, they are typically about 5.2 cm/ycm/y. Assume that this rate remains constant over time. a) If you and your neighbor live on opposite sides of a plate boundary at which one plate is moving northward at 5.2 cm/ycm/y with respect to the other plate, how far apart do your houses move in a century? Express your answer in meters b) Los Angeles is presently 550 kmkm south of San Francisco, but is on a plate moving northward relative to San Francisco. If the 5.2 cm/ycm/y velocity continues, how many years will it take before Los Angeles has moved up to San Francisco? Express your answer in years.
A motorboat traveling 6 m/s, East encounters a current traveling 3.8 m/s, South. a. What is the resultant velocity of the motor boat? b. If the width of the river is 120 meters wide, then how much time does it take the boat to travel shore to shore? c. What distance downstream does the boat reach the opposite shore? If the current velocity in question #4 were increased to 5 m/s, then a. how much time would be required to cross the same 120-m wide river? b. what distance downstream would the boat travel during this time?
The driver of a motorboat that can move at 12 m/s in still water wishes to travel directly across a narrow strait in which the current flows at 8 m/s. At what angle upstream should the driver head the boat? a) 63.3° b) 27.8° c) 48.1° d) 41.8°

A SMALL ATMOSPHERIC SENSOR TIED TO A WEATHER BALLOON ASCENDED INTO THE SKY AT A CONSTANT RATE OF 8 M/S. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF FLIGHT THE BALLOON REACHES THE STRATOSPHERE AND THE SENSOR IS DETACHED FROM THE BALLOON AND STARTS TO FALL. DISREGARDING THE AIR RESISTANCE, WHAT WOULD BE THE FINAL VELOCITY OF THE SENSOR BEFORE IT HITS THE GROUND? 1 Add file
A 25-kg projectile is fired vertically upward from the ground, if the velocity is 35m/s at 5m above the ground. Determine the maximum height (from the ground) in meters to which it will travel if a. Atmospheric resistance is neglected. b. Atmospheric resistance is measured as ??= 0.01?^2 (in Newtons), where ? is the speed of the projectile at any instant, measured in m/s.
