Chapter 4, Problem 58GP
A train moving with constant velocity travels 170 m north in 12 s and an undetermined distance to the west. The speed of the train is 32 m/s. (a) Find the direction of the train’s motion relative to north. (b) How far west has the train traveled in this time?

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.31 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.93 km with an average velocity of 2.06 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.688 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1h 30 min. She
then makes a course correction, heading 11
degrees to the right of her original course, and
flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a
constant speed of 625 mi/h, how far is she from
her starting position? (Round your answer to the
nearest mile.)
A commuter train travels from Baltimore to Washington, DC, and back in 1 hour and 45 minutes. The distance between the two stations is approximately 40 miles. What is (a) the average velocity of the train, and (b) the average speed of the train in m/s?
