- A plane has an airspeed of 142 km /h. It is flying on a bearing of 83° while there is a 29 km /h wind out of the northeast (bearing 225°). What are the ground speed and the bearing of the plane? The ground speed is km / h. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.) The bearing is °. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)arrow_forwardTwo beetles run across fiat sand, starting at the same point. Beetie 1 runs 0.50 m due east, then 0.90 m at 20° north of due east. Beetle 2 also makes two runs and the first is 1.6 m at 45° east of due north. (a) What must be the magnitude of its second run if it is to end up at the new location of beetle 17 (b) In what direction must it run? (counterclockwise from due east)arrow_forwardOasis B is 8.0 km due east of oasis A. Starting from oasis A, a camel walks 20 km in a direction 15.0° south of east and thenwalks 30 km due north. If it is to then walk directly to B, (a) how far and (b) in what direction (relative to the positive x-axis within the range (-180°, 180°] should it walk?arrow_forward
- A plane with a speed relative to still air of 78.5m/s is heading due south. After one hour an observer on the ground below sees that the plan has only traveled 255 km, and that the plane is 25.0°to the westof a direct path south. (a) What is the magnitude of the wind velocity? (b) What is the angle of the wind velocity relative to due west?arrow_forwardA light plane attains an airspeed of 490 km/h. The pilot sets out for a destination 790 km due north but discovers that the plane must be headed 19.0° east of due north to fly there directly. The plane arrives in 2.00 h. What were the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the wind velocity? Give the direction as an angle relative to due west, where north of west is a positive angle, and south of west is a negative angle. (a) Number i (b) Number Units Unitsarrow_forward. You tossed out a ball from a building at a height of 50.0 meter above the ground with an initial velocity of 9.00 m/s and angle of 25° to the horizontal. It strikes the ground after 5.00 seconds. With the positive x-direction chosen to be out of the window, how far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground?arrow_forward

- In the figure, a radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the airplane is at distance d₁-320 m from the station and at angle 0₁ - 44° above the horizon. The airplane is tracked through an angular change A0 - 123° in the vertical east-west plane; its distance is then d₂ - 750 m.
