A motorist drives south at 20.0 m/s for 3.00 min, then turns west and travels at 25.0 m/s for 2.00 min, and finally travels northwest at 30.0 m/s for 1.00 min. For this 6.00-min trip, find (a) the total vector displacement, (b) the average speed, and (c) the average velocity. Let the positive x axis point east.

A plane flies 660 mi from Indonesia to Myanmar in 1.2 hr when traveling with a tailwind. The return flight against the same wind takes 1.5 hr. find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind.
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. One goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 42 km/h wind is blowing from west to east. a) At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground? b) 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.)
An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0 km/hourkm/hour is blowing southward. The speed of the plane relative to the air (called the "air speed") as measured by instruments aboard the plane is 310 km/hourkm/hour . In which direction should the pilot head? a)What is the speed of the air relative to a person standing on the ground, vA/G? What is the speed of the plane relative to the air, vP/A?
A sailboat is traveling east at 5.5 m/s. A sudden gust of wind gives the boat an acceleration a = (1.15 m/s2 25° north of east). What is the boat's speed 10.0 seconds later when the gust subsides and what is the boat's direction (in deg north of east) 10.0 seconds later when the gust subsides?
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.)
Land west of the San Andreas fault in southern California is moving at an average velocity of about 6 cm/y northwest relative to land east of the fault. Los Angeles is west of the fault and may thus someday be at the same latitude as San Francisco, which is east of the fault. How far in the future will this occur if the displacement to be made is 590 km northwest, assuming the motion remains constant?
An airplane sets a compass course due west and maintains an airspeed (speed relative to the air) of 220 km/hr. After flying for 0.500 hours, the pilot finds herself over a town 120 km west and 20.0 km south of her starting point. a) Find the velocity of the wind (magnitude and direction). b) If the air speed is the same, but the wind is 40.0 km/hr due south, in what direction should the pilot fly to travel due west?
A pilot wishes to fly his plane to an airport north of his current location.The plane has a speed of 290m/s. 1)If he is confronted by a wind blowing east of 50m/s,in what direction will he need to head in order to reach the desired destination? 2)How long will it take him to reach the airport if it is 800km away?
An airplane maintains a speed of 669 km/h relative to the air it is flying through as it makes a trip to a city 815 km away to the north. (Assume north is the positive y-direction and east is the positive x-direction.)

(b) What time interval is required if there is a tailwind with the same speed? (c) What time interval is required if there is a crosswind blowing at 31.8 km/h to the east relative to the ground?
An airplane leaves the runway heading south and flies for 2000km. It then heads 20 degree west to avoid a storm. After flying for 500km, it turns 40 degree toward the east and flies another 400km to its final destination. Calculate the displacement of the plane;s destination and the distance it travelled.
