A 1.00 km wide river is flowing uniformly due South at 5.00 km/h. You want to drive your boat from the west shore (A) to a point on the other shore due East from your initial point (B). Your boat's speed relative to the water is 10.0 km/h. a.) In what direction (expressed using points on the compass) should the boat be pointed so that it's net velocity relative to the shore is due East? b.) How long will it take to cross the river that way?
In the 1970 National Basketball Association championship, Jerry West made a 60 ft shot from beyond half court to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to an improbable tie at the buzzer with the New York Knicks. Suppose West threw the ball at an angle of 40.0∘ above the horizontal. The basket is 10 ft from the court floor. Neglecting air resistance, estimate the initial speed of the ball. (The Knicks won the game in overtime.)
An airplane flies between two points on the ground that are 2.40 × 105 m apart. The destination is directly north of the origination of the flight. The plane flies with speed relative to the air of 130 m/s and a constant wind blows at 50.0 m/s due west during the flight. In order for the plane to arrive at the destination, a) What direction (angle) must the plane fly relative to north direction? b) What is the speed of the plane relative to the ground and how long does it take to reach at the destination? In your answer you have to identify the angle as west of north or east of north Formula you may need is Ve/G = VeJA+ VajG
7. Two boats leave the port at the same time. Boat A has a velocity of (-31+ 2j) m/s and boat B has a velocity of (5i – 3j) m/s as measured by someone standing at the port (i and j are unit vectors along the x-axis and the y-axis, respectively). a) What is the velocity of Boat B relative to Boat A? b) What is the position vector of Boat B as seen by a person travelling on Boat A after 30 seconds has elapsed? Give your answer as magnitude and direction.
Raj is training for a swim marathon by swimming from one side of a river, which has a current speed of 3 km/h downstream, to a tree on the other side directly opposite from his starting point. He can swim at a speed of 1.5 km/h in still water. If the river is 4 km wide, how far from the tree will Raj if he swims straight ahead?
