### Navigation and Bearings: Practice Question#### Question 8A ship sails out from the port at S-50°-E. It sails for 5 miles and then makes a right turn for 8 miles. At this point, what is the bearing from the port to the ship?**Answer Choices:**- A. 18°- B. 72°- C. 172°- D. 188°For educational purposes, let's break down how to solve this problem:1. **Initial Direction (S-50°-E):** The ship starts by heading 50° south of due east.2. **First Leg:** The ship travels 5 miles in this direction.3. **Right Turn:** A right turn would make the new direction perpendicular to the previous course. 4. **Second Leg:** The ship then sails 8 miles in the new direction.To find the final bearing from the port to the ship, students would typically create a diagram and apply trigonometric concepts.**Explanation:** (In the absence of diagrams, use verbal and numerical logic)- After sailing 5 miles at S-50°-E, and making a right turn (90°), the ship would be traveling in a direction which is E-40°-S (since 50° + 90° = 140° from the starting point)- Final bearing calculations would require more complex trigonometric scaling.Feel free to use instruments or detailed trigonometrical calculations to nail down the exact bearing. The best approach here would be drawing it on a chart for visualization.

A hiking girl needs to go 24.8 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 11.904 km at a 6.1° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 15.5° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 19.592 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)
Bronwyn is lost in the woods. If she took the following path, 2.6 km [N35E], 3.1 km [N27W], and then 5.5 km [W64S], how far is she from where she started? What direction should she walk to take the most direct path back to her starting point?
Starting in Albany, you travel a distance 133 miles in a direction 19.6° north of West. Then, from this new position, you travel another distance 491 miles in the direction 42.5° north of East. In your final position, what is your displacement from Albany?
A plane leaves Denver and travels 239 miles bearing N77 degrees W, then makes a course correction and travels N33 degrees W for 95 miles. How many miles north of Denver did they travel (round to two decimal places)?
You go on a hike with some friends. First, you travel 1.7 miles in a direction due west. Then, you spend some time checking Twitter and not paying attention to where you're walking. Once you look back up from your phone, you are at a ranger station that is 2.1 miles in a direction 27 degrees west of north from your starting point. How far, and in what direction, did you travel while checking Twitter?
Asha is walking along a straight path from the National Geographic Museum towards the International Spy Museum. The International Spy Museum is 1.22 km east and 0.91 km south of the National Geographic Museum. Part way along her path, Asha turns perpendicular to the path she was originally following to a second path towards the White House. The White House is 0.91 km directly south of the National Geographic Museum. Using (0,0) for the location of the National Geographic Museum, determine the slope of the line representing Asha’s second path and write a linear equation for this path. Show how you arrived at your answer.
A sailboat sets out from the U.S. side of Lake Erie for a point on the Canadian side, 97.0 km due north. The sailor, however, ends up 56.0 km due east of the starting point. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (west of due north) must the sailor now sail to reach the original destination?
A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims d1 = 74.3 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for d2 = 183.7 m, then follows a big grouper (a kind of fish) for d3 = 73.3 m in the direction θ = 43.9° north of east. Finally, she swims d4 = 193.4 m south.What is the straight-line distance between her initial and final positions in m?

To get out of the harbor, a container ship sails at a bearing of 240° for 6 km before changing direction due north. If the container ship travels 15 km north from where it changed direction, what is the bearing of the ship relative to the starting point in the harbor?
In the figure, a radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the airplane is at distance d₁ = 330 m from the station and at angle 0₁ = 41° above the horizon. The airplane is tracked through an angular change A0 = 118° in the vertical east-west plane; its distance is then d₂ = 850 m. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the airplane's displacement during this period. Give the direction as an angle relative to due west, with a positive angle being above the horizon and a negative angle being below the horizon. de 731 W Airplane d₁ Radar dish
