A pilot starting from Athens, New York, wishes to fly to Sparta, New York, which is 381 km from Athens in the direction22° N of E. The pilot heads directly for Sparta and flies at an airspeed of 151 km/h. After flying for 2.52 h, the pilotexpects to be at Sparta, but instead he finds himself 16 km due west of Sparta. He has forgotten to correct for the wind.(a) What is the velocity of the plane relative to the air? (b) Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the planerelative to the ground. (c) Find the wind speed and direction.Please be thorough.

On a beautiful spring day, Juan is playing a round of golf. He hits the golfball with an initial velocity of 37.9 m/s at an angle of 31.7°. If it hits the ground 6.4s later, how far does it travel? Ignore air resistance. Answer:
A ball is tossed horizontally from the highest point of a 75 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistance, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the highest point of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?
A projectile is launched off of a 46.8 m high building with an initial velocity of 21.3 m/s at an angle of 36.4 degrees relative to the horizontal. What is the magnitude of its velocity after traveling a distance of 138 m in the x-direction?
An airline's navigator determines that the jet is flying 475 mph with a heading of N 42.5° W, but the jet is actually moving at 465 mph in a direction of N 37.7° W. What is the velocity of the wind?
There is a tree in the middle of your front yard and you take pictures of a squirrel as it runs around the tree. When you take the first picture, the squirrel is 12.0 m away from the tree in the direction 30.0° N of E. Twenty seconds later, you take a second picture of the squirrel when it is 7.50 m away from the tree in the direction 15.0° E of S. What is the magnitude and direction of the average velocity of the squirrel between the two pictures?
A rock is thrown from the top of a building 94 m high, with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle 33 degrees above the horizontal. When it hits the ground, what is the magnitude of its velocity (i.e. its speed).

A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 24.4 m/s in the +y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.223 m/s² in the +x direction. After 52.7 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the +y direction. (a) Number i Units (b) Number Units û
A vessel sets out from Delfzijl, The Netherlands, heading due north at 9.5 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0° north of east. What is the angle of the velocity of the vessel relative to the Earth in degrees N of E?
You are hiking in the rocky canyon lands of Utah and eventually realize you are lost. You climb up to stand on one of the tall rocks and shoot a flaming arrow into the air to signal your distress. You shoot the arrow with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. The arrow hits the ground 7.50 seconds later. (Neglect air resistance.) (a) What maximum height does the arrow reach above its launch point? (b) Relative to the launch point, where does the projectile land? Give your answer in Cartesian (x,y) coordinates as well as polar (r,0) coordinates.
