A plane is capable of flying 180 km/h in still air. The pilot, takes off from an airfield and heads due north according to the plane's compass. After 30 minutes of flight time, Captain notices that, due to the wind, the plane has actually travelled 80 km at an angle of N5°E. (You may assume that the wind velocity remains constant through the entire question.) a) What is the wind velocity? b) In what direction should the pilot have headed to reach the intended destination (due North) ○ ) If the original destination was 300km due N from her original starting point, what heading should Captain take now to adjust for the oversight and reach her destination? d) How much time did Captain waste because of this oversight?
A radar station sends a signal to a ship which is located a distance 13.8 kilometers from the station at bearing 136° clockwise from the north. At the same moment, a helicopter is at a horizontal range of 19.6 kilometers, at bearing 146° clockwise from the north, with an elevation of 2.56 kilometers. Let east be the î direction, north be the ĵ direction, and up be the direction. a) What If? The ship begins to sink at a rate of 5.50 m/s. Write the position vector (in km) of the ship relative to the helicopter as a function of time as the ship sinks. Assume that the helicopter remains hovering at its initial position and that the sinking rate remains the same even after the ship sinks under the surface.

Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. The one goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 50 km/h wind is blowing from west to east. 1) At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground? 2) How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 km from north to south? (Note: Even on cloudy nights, many birds can navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction.)
