A commuter airplane takes the route shown in Figure 3.20. First, it flies from the origin of the coordinate system shown to city A, located 175 km in a direction 30.0° north of east. Next, it flies 153 km 20.0° west of north to city B. Finally, it flies 195 km due west to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the origin

A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00° north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0° west of north from Atlanta. The figure below shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. magnitude 334.15 direction 52.27 Chicago Dallas 560 mi 730 mi X mi Xnorth of east of Dallas 5.00 21.0° Atlanta
It takes a golfer three strokes to get a golf ball into a hole. On the first hit, the ball moves 6.0 m to the east. On the second hit, it moves 2.9 m at an angle of 20 ° north of east. On the third hit, it moves 0.50 m to the north. If the golfer had struck the ball directly into the hole in one stroke, what would have been the magnitude (in m) and the direction of the ball's displacement? Indicate direction as a positive angle measured counterclockwise from east.
Gabby works as an aerial photographer. On one trip she takes off from the airport and flies 52km on a bearing N46°E. She then turns and flies for 43km until she is due east of the airport. How far is Gabby from the airport when she is due east of it? Is there more than one answer, explain.
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.)
A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes the route shown in the figure below. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a direction 30.0° north of east. Next, it flies for 150 km 20.0° west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the location of the starting point. Looking for: distance in km, angle in degrees west of north.
On the map, let the +x-axis point east and the +y-axis north. An airplane flies at 880 km/h northwestward direction (i.e., midway between north and west). Find the components of its velocity. Enter the x and y components of the velocity separated by a comma. I understand the quadrant, and origin but not how to then figure components of airplane's velocity. Can you simply get me up to the speed?
Hiker Harry walks 4 km east then 7 km 25o north of west. What is the magnitude and direction of Harry’s position after his hike as measured from his starting point? Give the angle measured relative to east. For example 90° means directly north.
Suppose you walk 14.5 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west then you walk 22 m in a direction exactly 39° west of north. What is the angle of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured North of West in degrees? Please explain how you got your answer in detail.
A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction of 5.00° north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction of 21.0° west of north from Atlanta. Figure P 3.22 shows the locations of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago.
Starting in Albany, you travel a distance 101 miles in a direction 37.1 degrees north of west. Then, from this new position, you travel another distance 355 miles in a direction 10.2 degrees north of east. In your final position, what is your displacement from Albany? If the correct answer doesn't appear among the choices, choose the answer that has the correct distance and angle, even if the direction reference (north of east or north of west) is incorrect. a. 456 miles 47.3 degrees North of Westb. 246 miles 46.1 degrees North of Westc. 456 miles 47.3 degrees North of Eastd. 296 miles 24.7 degrees North of West
Write only the letter of the correct answer. From her house, Miya walks 30 m at E30°N. She then turns 50° on a clockwise direction and continues walking for 40m. She turned again at an angle of 80° clockwise and walked 60m. From her final position, if there is a way that Miya can walk straight to her house, how far will she walk? a) 70.85m b) 75.80m c) 78.50m d) 85.50m Your answer
