Question

A fishing boat in the ocean is moving at a speed of 23.0 km/h and heading in a direction of 40.0° east of north. A lighthouse spots the fishing boat at a distance of 22.0 km from the lighthouse and in a direction of
15.0⁰ east of north. At the moment the fishing boat is spotted, a speedboat launches from a dock adjacent to the lighthouse. The speedboat travels at a speed of 42.0 km/h and heads in a straight line such that it
will intercept the fishing boat.
(a) How much time, in minutes, does the speedboat take to travel from the dock to the point where it intercepts the fishing boat?
min
(b) In what direction does the speedboat travel? Express the direction as a compass bearing with respect to due north.
° east of north

A jetliner can fly 6.8 hours on a full load of fuel. Without any wind it flies at a speed of 3.24 x 10² m/s. The plane is to make a round-trip by heading due west for a certain distance, turning around, and then heading due east for the return trip. During the entire flight, however, the plane encounters a 75.9-m/s wind from the jet stream, which blows from west to east. What is the maximum distance (in kilometers) that the plane can travel due west and just be able to return home? Number Units ◄►
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 dolphin wants to swim directly back to its home bay, which is 0.800 km due west. It can swim at a speed of 5.00 m/s relative to the water, but a uniform water current flows with speed 2.83 m/s in the southeast direction. What direction should the dolphin head? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates south of west and negative indicates north of west.
A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then 60 degree south of east for 20 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30 nautical miles, and sails 30 degreeeast of north for 10 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles.
