- 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 iAfter discovering that two hikers have been stranded on Devil’s Thumb Pass, the Colorado Search andRescue team sends out a plane with supplies for the hikers. Because the hikers are in an isolated location, theplane has to drop the supplies as it fies overhead (see Figure 1).

They are in the balloon, and it is moving 15 degrees south of east at a velocity 10 m/s relative to the air. When the balloon has a height of 90 m the boy is about to propose to but he drops the ring. The wind is also blowing to the east at 12 m/s relative to the ground. They now need to find the ring. a) What is the horizontal distance ( magnitude and direction) the ring lands on the ground from where it drops out of the balloon? b) What is the final velocity of the ring right before it hits the ground? c) Draw the vertical position vs time graph, velocity vs time graph, and acceleration vs time graph of the ring.A jet airliner moving at 422 mph due east moves into a region where the wind is blowing at 262 mph in a direction 46 degrees north of west.
