An airplane starting at city A flies 350 km at 30 degrees east of north, 125km at 30 degrees east of south, and finally 500 km at 30 degrees south of west to city B. A second airplane flies diectly from city A to B. How far and in what direction must the second plane fly?
While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 115 m at an angle 30.0° north of east, and 185 m south. Find the resultant displacement from the cave entrance. The figure below suggests the situation but is not drawn to scale.
A plane flies at a speed of 360 mph on a bearing of S45°E. Relative to the ground, the plane's speed is measured as 335 mph with a true bearing of S35°E. Round answers to the nearest whole unit.
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.

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.)
