A small ship capable of making a speed of 6.5 knots through still water maintains a heading due east while being set to the south by an ocean current. The actual course of the boat is from A to B, a distance of 8.3 nautical miles that requires exactly 1.6 hours. Determine the speed v. of the current and its direction 0 measured clockwise from the north. N(0°) A -E(90°) 11 Answers: Vc = i knots i
The compass in a plane indicates that the plane is heading east; its air speed indicator reads 221 km/hr. There is a steady wind blowing from the south with a speed of 56.6 km/hr. What is the speed of the plane with respect to the ground?
12. Two boys are at point X on one side of a river, 40 m wide and having a current of 1.0 m/s, flowing as shown. Simultaneously, they dive into the water in an attempt to reach point Y, directly opposite X. Both swim at 2.0 m/s relative to the water, but one directs himself so that his net motion corresponds to XY, while the other keeps his body perpendicular to the current and consequently lands at point Z. After landing, he runs along the shore to point Y at a speed of 6.0 m/s. Which boy arrives at Y first, and by how much time does he beat the other? 1.0 m/s-
A pilot wishes to make a flight of 300.0km [N30E] in 45min. On checking with the meteorogical office, she finds that there will be a wind of 80.0 km/h from the East for the entire flight. What heading and airspeed must she use for the flight?
A plane departs from Toronto and heads to Ottawa travelling at 529.9 km/h [N33.67°E, relative to the ground]. If the plane experiences a jet stream of 177.9 km/h [W, relative to the ground] during the trip, calculate the velocity of the plane with respect to the jet stream.
Suppose someone finds herself with her rowboat on the bank of a river that is 3 km wide. Her campsite is on the other side of the river, 8 km down the river bank from her starting point. First, she will row her boat across the river, then walk along the river bank to her campsite. She can row 3 kph in the river, and walk along the river bank at 5 kph. We can assume that the current in the river is negligible. Toward what point, in miles, on the other side of the river should she row in order to reach her campsite in the least time? Note: Omit units of measurement from your answer. Round to the nearest thousandth. Solution:
