A Coast Guard ship is traveling at aconstant velocity of 3.59 m/s, due east,relative to the water. On his radar screenthe navigator detects an object that ismoving at a constant velocity. The objectis located at a distance of 3810 m withrespect to the ship, in a direction 16.0°south of east. Six minutes later, he notesthat the object's position relative to theship has changed to 919 m, 46.0 ° southof west. What are (a) the magnitude and(b) direction of the velocity of the objectrelative to the water? Express thedirection as an angle with respect to duewest.

In the figure, a radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the airplane is at distance d₁ = 330 m from the station and at angle 0₁ = 41° above the horizon. The airplane is tracked through an angular change A0 = 118° in the vertical east-west plane; its distance is then d₂ = 850 m. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the airplane's displacement during this period. Give the direction as an angle relative to due west, with a positive angle being above the horizon and a negative angle being below the horizon. de 731 W Airplane d₁ Radar dish

During the battle of Bunker Hill, Colonel William Prescott ordered the American Army to bombard the British Army camped near Boston. The projectiles had an initial velocity of 43 m/s at 33° above the horizon and an initial position that was 36 m higher than where they hit the ground. How far did the projectiles move horizontally before they hit the ground? Ignore air resistance.
A small ship capable of making a speed of 6.5 knots through still water maintains a heading due east while being set to the south by an ocean current.
