In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?
A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?

A pilot is in his plane with the intention of flying to Nunavut. From the current location, Nunavut is [N 9.0W]. The flight tracker estimates the distance from Toronto to Nunavut is approximate 3.0x103km. The plane hasthe capability to fly at an airspeed of 890 km/hr. The pilot aims the plane at a heading [N], and lands in Nunavutdirectly. If the flight takes 3.33 hrs to complete: a. What is the velocity of the plane relative to the Earth? b. What was the wind velocity present on that day?
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 8.3 km at 53o 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 Coast Guard cutter detects an unidentified ship at a distanceof 20.0 km in the direction 15.0° east of north. The shipis traveling at 26.0 km/h on a course at 40.0° east of north.The Coast Guard wishes to send a speedboat to interceptand investigate the vessel. (a) If the speedboat travels at 50.0km/h, in what direction should it head? Express the directionas a compass bearing with respect to due north. (b) Find thetime required for the cutter to intercept the ship.

A woman sailing a boat at night is following directions to a dock. The instructions read to first sail 27.5 m in a direction66.0º north of east from her current location, and then travel 30.0 m in a direction 112º north of east (or 22.0º west ofnorth). If the woman makes a mistake and travels in the opposite direction for the second leg of the trip, where will she endup? Compare this location with the location of the dock
