A river of width' a' with straight parallel banks flows due north with speed u. The points O and A are on oppositebanks and A is due east of O. Coordinate axes Ox and Oy are taken in the east and north directions respectively. Aboat, whose speed is v relative to water, starts from O and crosses the river. If the boat is steered due east and uvaries with x as : u = r(a – x)- 2). Find:equation of trajectory of the boat

An airplane is travelling at 620 km/h on a heading of 305°. The wind of 80 km/h is flowing from a bearing of 260º. Determine the ground velocity of the boat. You can use trigonometry method or rectangular components method, but the final answer needs to be written in the same form as the original question.
A hiking girl needs to go 59.3 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 33.208 km at a 4.9° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 18.4° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 46.254 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)

A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 20.3 mm above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 1.6 mm above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 57.0 mm wide.

This problem will involve deriving a formula or two for a projectile launched from one height and angle and landing at a different height on Earth. Begin with a projectile launched at angle 0 above horizontal from a height y₁ with initial velocity Vo. The projectile lands at a point with height y₂. These are the given quantities: vo, 0, y₁, y2 and g. Construct formulae for each of the following, as. a function of given quantities the horizontal distance traveled. the maximum height reached. the time taken. the angle of impact. (find the final velocity components first).
