- Joe lives on Horizontal Road (which runs east-west),which intersects Vertical Expressway (which runs north-south).Aldi and Lidl are both located on Vertical Expressway, with Aldi being 3.4 miles south of Lidl. Joe’s house is 5.9 miles from Lidl on a bearing of 201.8 degrees . What is the bearing of Joe’s house from Aldi ?Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height. Airplane A is flying east at 451 mi/h and airplane B is flying north at 494 mi/h. If they are both heading to the same airport, located 3 miles east of airplane A and 3 miles north of airplane B, at what rate is the distance between the airplanes changing?An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.1 km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 8.4 km at 46° north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (south of due west) must he now travel to reach base camp? (a) Number i 34.99 (b) Number 1.48 Units Units km ° (degrees)
- A person is traveling in a plane at 400 miles/hour due east with a strong crosswind blowing from north to south at 200 miles/hour. A) What is the velocity and direction angle of the plane in the crosswind? B) What is the total distance traveled by the airplane in one hour?A ship sails 400 miles due east. It then sails north 45 degrees West for 200 miles. Where is the ship located, distance and angle?An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 182 ft, then climbs 117 ft at an angle of 32.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 117 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) Magnitude = ? Direction = 356.5 degrees counterclockwise from the + x-axis
- A plane is capable of flying 180 km/h in still air. The pilot, takes off from an airfield and heads due north according to the plane's compass. After 30 minutes of flight time, Captain notices that, due to the wind, the plane has actually travelled 80 km at an angle of N5°E. (You may assume that the wind velocity remains constant through the entire question.) a) What is the wind velocity? b) In what direction should the pilot have headed to reach the intended destination (due North) ○ ) If the original destination was 300km due N from her original starting point, what heading should Captain take now to adjust for the oversight and reach her destination? d) How much time did Captain waste because of this oversight?A plane flies at a speed of 360 mph on a bearing of S45°E. Relative to the ground, the plane's speed is measured as 335 mph with a true bearing of S35°E. Round answers to the nearest whole unit.A plane flies northwest out of O'Hare Airport in Chicago at a speed of 400 km/hr in a direction of 150 degrees (i.e., 30 degrees north of west). The Canadian border is located a distance of 1500 km due north of Chicago. The plane will cross into Canada after approximately ____ hours.
- You are spending the summer as an assistant learning how to navigate on a large ship carrying freight across Lake Erie. One day, you and your ship are to travel across the lake a distance of 180 km traveling due north from your origin port to your destination port. Just as you leave your origin port, the navigation electronics go down. The captain continues sailing, claiming he can depend on his years of experience on the water as a guide. The engineers work on the navigation system while the ship continues to sail, and winds and waves push it off course. Eventually, enough of the navigation system comes back up to tell you your location. The system tells you that your current position is 54.0 km north of the origin port and 21.0 km east of the port. The captain is a little embarrassed that his ship is so far off course and barks an order to you to tell him immediately what heading he should set from your current position to the destination port. Give him an appropriate heading angle.…A plane is flying at a speed of 320 miles per hour on a bearing of N65°E. Its ground speed is 390 miles per hour and its true course, given by the direction angle of the ground speed vector, is 30°. Find the speed, in miles per hour, and the direction angle, in degrees, of the wind. The speed of the wind is miles per hour. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp.
