A boat is sailing at its maximum speed of 30 km/h, at a bearing of 35°, inside a river flowing due south at 10 km/h. What is the final speed of the boat, and in what direction does it end its trip? if the boat would like to travel due east, in what direction would the boat stir its trip at its same maximum speed in the same river,

Two ships leave port at the same time and travel straight-line distances, the first at 30 km/h and the second at 10 km/h. Two hours later they are 50 km apart. What is the angle between their courses?
A plane is capable of flying 180 km/h in still air. The pilot, takes off from an airfield and heads due north according to the plane's compass. After 30 minutes of flight time, Captain notices that, due to the wind, the plane has actually travelled 80 km at an angle of N5°E. (You may assume that the wind velocity remains constant through the entire question.) a) What is the wind velocity? b) In what direction should the pilot have headed to reach the intended destination (due North) ○ ) If the original destination was 300km due N from her original starting point, what heading should Captain take now to adjust for the oversight and reach her destination? d) How much time did Captain waste because of this oversight?
An object is traveling East through the earth’s atmosphere at 20.0 km/s while at the same time falling down under the influence of earth’s gravity at a rate of 15 km/s. At this moment, what is its net speed, in km/s? What is its acceleration in the vertical direction (both magnitude and direction)?
An airplane is heading north at an airspeed of 500 km/hr, but there is a wind blowing from the southeast at 40 km/hr. The plane will end up flying how much degrees off course? The plane's speed relative to the ground will be ?
A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then 60 degree south of east for 20 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30 nautical miles, and sails 30 degreeeast of north for 10 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles. At that time the boat becomes becalmed and the auxiliary engine fails to start. The crew decides to notify the Coast Guard of their position. What is their position?
At a given instant, a car travels along a circular curved road with a speed of 20 m/s while decreasing its speed at the rate of 3 m/s2. If the magnitude of the car's acceleration is 5 m/s2. Determine the normal component of acceleration in m/s?.
A boy tossed the basketball at an angle of 29° degrees from the horizontal. The basketball is 1.7m above the ground at the time of release and the basketball hoop is 7.0m away and 4.1m high. Neglecting the size of the ball in the calculation, determine the speed which the ball pass through the hoop. Answer in two decimal places.
If there is no wind, raindrops fall vertically with uniform speed. Aman driving a car on a windless rainy day observes that the tracks left by theraindrops on the side windows are all inclined at the same angle. Show how thevertical speed of the raindrops can be determined from the inclination of thetracks and the reading of the speedometer.
