A meteor P is tracked by a radar observatory on the earth at O. When the meteor is directly overhead (9 = 90°),
the following observations are recorded: r = 93 km, = -23 km/s, and 0 = 0.43 rad/s. (a) Determine the speed
v of the meteor and the angle ẞ which its velocity vector makes with the horizontal. Neglect any effects due to
the earth's rotation. (b) Repeat with all given quantities remaining the same, except that 8 = 80°.

The airplane above now moves due east while the alien pilot points the plane somewhat south of east, toward a steady wind that blows to the northeast. The plane Phas velocity ⃗vP W relative to the wind W , with an airspeed (speed relative to the wind) of 215 km/h, directed at angle θ south of east. The wind has velocity ⃗vWG relative to the ground G with speed 65.0 km/h, directed 20.0◦ east of north. What is the magnitude of the velocity ⃗vP G of the plane relative to the ground, and what is θ?
