The eye of a hurricane passes over Grand Bahama Island in a direction 60.0 north of west with a speed of 41.0 km/h. Three hours later the course of the hurricane suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to 25.0 km/h. How far from Grand Bahama is the hurricane 4.50 h after it passes over the island?
You are participating in a summer internship with the Coast Guard. You have been assigned the duty of determining the direction in which a Coast Guard speedboat should travel to intercept unidentified vessels. One day, the radar operator detects an unidentified vessel at a distance of 20.0 km from the radar installation in the direction 15.0 east of north. The vessel is traveling at 26.0 km/h on a course at 40.0 east of north. The Coast Guard wishes to send a speedboat, which travels at 50.0 km/h, to travel in a straight line from the radar installation to intercept and investigate the vessel, and asks you for the heading for the speedboat to take. Express the direction as a compass bearing with respect to due north.
In an attempt to escape his island, Gilligan builds a raft and sets to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and he is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km 45.0° north of west; then 4.70 km 60.0° south of east; then 1.30 km 25.0° south of west; then 5.10 km straight east; then 1.70 km 5.00° east of north; then 7.20 km 55.0° south of west; and finally 2.80 km 10.0° north of east. What is his final position relative to the island?
A ferry transports tourists between three islands. It sails from the first island to the second island, 4.76 km away, in a direction 37.0 north of east.
