A Coast Guard ship is traveling at a constant velocity of 4.01 m/s, due east, relative to the water. On his radar screen the navigatordetects an object that is moving at a constant velocity. The object is located at a distance of 3230 m with respect to the ship, in adirection 22.0° south of east. Six minutes later, he notes that the object's position relative to the ship has changed to 548 m, 69.0°south of west. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the velocity of the object relative to the water? Express the direction asan angle with respect to due west.

You are standing on the ground at the origin of a coordinate system. An airplane flies over you with constant velocity parallel to the x axis and at a constant height of 8.95 103 m. At t = 0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is P0 = 8.95 103ĵ m. At t = 30.0 s the position vector leading from you to the airplane is P30 = (7.22 103î + 8.95 103ĵ) m as suggested in the figure below. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplane's position vector at t = 60.0 s. An illustration shows a woman standing on the ground and facing towards an airplane that is flying away from her. Vector P0 starts at the woman's head and extends vertically to end on a horizontal line that represents the height of the airplane. Vector P30 starts at the woman's head and extends at an angle up and to the right to end on the airplane. What is magnitude ? What is direction in degrees above horizontal?

In your final position, what is your displacement from Albany? 76 miles 78.0 degrees North of West 276 miles 31.1 degrees North of East 224 miles 29.3 degrees North of West 276 miles 31.1 degrees North of West
An airplane pilot wishes to fly to his destination 500 mi due west, but the wind is blowing at 28.7 mi/hr toward 25.7° north of west. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 169.1 mi/hr. At what angle (south of west) must the pilot orient the plane in order to fly to his destination directly? If the pilot orients the plane at that angle, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?
A plane flies 479 km east from city A to city B in 45.0 min and then 950 km south from city B to city C in 1.10 h.

Give your angles as positive or negative values of magnitude less than 180 degrees, measured from the +x direction (east).
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.
