Question
3) Mariana decides to go camping at Crystal Lake. From her camping site, she walks 40.0 km in a direction 60.0 degrees north east toward's a forest ranger's tower. If she needed to provide her mother Michelle, still at the camping site, directions on how to get to the forest ranger's tower:
(a) what would be the east and north directions she needs to provide her mom (she has no compass)?

- An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.3 km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 8.4 km at 46° north of due east.

- An airplane has an air speed of 267 miles per hour and a compass heading of 140°. A steady wind of 54 miles per hour is blowing in the direction of 183°. What is the plane's true speed relative to the ground? What is its compass heading relative to the ground? W. 270° ... The groundspeed is miles per hour.

A pilot is flying to a destination 230 km south of her current position. An air traffic controller tells her that the wind velocity (as seen on the ground) is 37 km/h [E25 °N]. She knows that the plane's speed is 281 km/h. a) Sketch the overall vectors of the plane to the ground, the plane to the air and the air to the ground. Write the equation for the velocity of the plane relative to the ground with the appropriate subscripts. b) Determine the heading of the plane (in what direction must the pilot fly to compensate for the wind?). Show your work. Label your vectors and label x and y components. c) How long will it take her to reach her destination if she goes at constant velocity with the heading you determined above? (Should it take longer or less time than with no wind?) d) How long would it take her to reach her destination if she went at constant velocity and there was no wind'?arrow_forwardYou wish to get to Target to purchase “high-quality” goods. To get toTarget from your current location, Google tells you to walk in a straightline for 1.35 km at an angle of 40.0◦south of east. Before going to Target,however, you want to grab a slice of pizza and then get some coffee. Thepizza place is 0.54 km from you at an angle of 60.0◦south of west. Fromthe pizza parlor, you must walk 2.1 km due east to get coffee. Just afteryou buy coffee, your phone dies. Use your understanding of vectors todetermine how far and in which direction you should walk to get to Target.arrow_forward

He visualizes Sid as a hunk of meat and begins to chase him frantically around the ground. First, Sid darts 50.0 meters at 35.0° NoW and then turns abruptly and races 40.0 m S. If Manny ran from where they were originally standing to where Sid ended up, how far and in what direction would Manny have to run to break up the fight? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 42.5 m @ 15.5° SoW Thanks!!arrow_forward
