A helicopter has a speed in calm air of 170 kmh- and it's travelling on a bearing of 120° relative to the air. The wind is blowing at a speed of 30 kmh from the south-west. Take unit vectors i to point east and j to point north. (a) Express the original velocity b of the helicopter relative to the air and the velocity w of the wind in component form, giving the numerical values in km h-1 to two decimal places. (b) Express the resultant velocity v of the helicopter in component form, giving numerical values in km h-¹ to two decimal places. (c) Hence find the magnitude and direction of the resultant velocity v of the helicopter, giving the magnitude in km h−¹ to one decimal place and the direction as a bearing to the nearest degree.
You take a three-day hiking. On the first day, you travel 5.0 km heading East. On the second day you’ve enjoyed the scenery so much that you forgot to take note how far you have walked and in what direction. On the third day, after wandering for 8.5 km and in the direction 37o South of West, you find yourself in the base camp where you have started (which means the total displacement is zero). Determine your displacement during the second day of your trip.
