In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. Oneplane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2,000 m, located at 15° above thehorizontal, and 45° north of west, as seen by the tower. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 2,900 m, located at 5° above the horizontal, and located directlywest as seen by the tower.(a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower (in km). (Express your answers in vector form. Assume the +x-axis is to theeast, the +y-axis is to the north, and the +z-axis is up towards the sky.)KBoeingkmRDC-3 =km(b) What is the distance (in km) between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?km

Star and Kiara are at the 2019 Something in the Water festival in VA Beach. They were separated from one another in the crowd of people. Star can see Kiara at a bearing of N72°E. Just as Star starts to make her way toward Kiara she stops dead in her tracks. Star just noticed Beyoncé standing 30 ft due south of Kiara. Star is awestruck that she can see Beyoncé at a bearing of 561°E, how far is Star from Beyoncé? Round to the hundredth place.
A ship sets out to sail to a point 142 km due north. An unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 130 km due east of its starting point. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (as an angle from due east, where north of east is a positive angle) must it now sail to reach its original destination?
One day Timmy was shopping at Trader Joe's. As he gets in line he sees Godzilla near the front of a line. Timmy does not think Godzilla is really in line yet because he is too far away from the cashier, so Timmy gets in line in front of Godzilla. Turns out, Timmy was mistaken. (The direction Timmy moves is considered to be positive! The ground is a horizontal surface.) Godzilla puts Timmy on the ground and then kicks him out of the store. How many forces act on Timmy as he slides on the ground and out of the store? 4 0 1 Unable to be determined from the given information 2 3
