A field biologist is studying the migration patterns of northern gannets (a type of seabird). On one particularday, she records that they fly 5.0 km northeast, then turn toward to the south of east by 30 degrees and fly 4.0 kmin the new direction. How far north or south of their original position are the birds?
A river flows in the direction due north. The speed of the current is 5 km/hr. A boat with a speed of 20 km/hr starts crossing the river from the west bank directly in the east direction. What is the resultant velocity of the boat? (In other words, calculate the magnitude and the direction of the resultant velocity of the boat.) Round each answer to the nearest integer.
In a rectangular field of sides 60m and 80m respectfully two farmers start moving from same point and take same time 30 minutes to reach diagonally opposite point along two different path. Find the velocity and speed of both the farmers.
A plane is headed due west with an air speed of 207 m/s. The wind blows south at 20.0 m/s. Find the velocity of the plane relative to the earth.To solve this problem it will be necessary to determine the plane's velocity relative to the the air. What is the plane's east-west velocity relative to the air? (Define the positive direction to be east.)Additionally, to solve this problem it will be necessary to determine the air's velocity relative to the earth. What is the air's north-south velocity relative to the earth? (Define the positive direction to be north.)

1) A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 15.8 km. The trip took 25.9 min. a) What was her average speed, in meters per second? b) If the straight-line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a direction 25° south of east, what was the magnitude of her average velocity in meters per second? c) If she drove back home using the same path she took out to the university and arrives 7.9 h after she first left home, what was her average speed for the entire trip, in meters per second?
Problem An explorer in Antarctica leaves his shelter during a whiteout. He takes 50 m northeast, next 180 m at 72° north of west, and then 150 m due south. Save the explorer from becoming hopelessly lost by giving him the displacement, calculated by using the method of components, that will return him to his shelter. Solution By vector-component approach, we list down the given in a table as follows: x-component (w/ sign direction) y-component (w/ sign direction) Given A = 50 m NE m B = 180 m 72° NW m C = 150 m S m m Resultant m Thus, the magnitude of the resultant vector is R = With a direction of e = O NW Therefore, the vector needed for him to successfully get back home is Rhome = OSE m EE
