A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?
A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.40 m/s and observes that it takes 1.8 s to reach the water. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.

(b) What is his average velocity?

A seagull can fly at a velocity of 9.00 m/s in still air. (a) If it takes the bird 20.0 mm to travel 6.00 kin straight into an oncoming wind, what is the velocity of the wind? (b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long will it take the bird to return 6.00 km?
A particle at rest leaves the origin with its velocity Increasing with time according to v(t)=3.2tm/s . At 5.0 s, the particles velocity stats decreasing according to [16.01.5(t5.0)]m/s .

(b) What Is the position of the particle at t=2.0s , t=7.0s , and t=12.0s ?
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. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?
A skier leaves the end of a horizontal ski jump at 22.0 m/s and falls through a vertical distance of 3.20 m before landing. Neglecting air resistance, (a) how long does it take the skier to reach the ground? (b) How far horizontally docs the skier travel in the air before landing? (Sec Section 3.4.)
