A pilot flies in a straight path for 1h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 11 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 625 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)

Ih took Joseph 30 minutes longer to drive 375 km from along the north shore of a river from Apex to Rounder than it took to return along the south shore, a distance of 420 km. On the retum trip the highway was wider and in better condiftion, so he was able to average 10 km/h faster. What was his average speed on cach part of the trip?
A particle moves along a straight line such thatits acceleration is aa = (4t^2 − 2) m/s^2, where t is inseconds. When t = 0, the particle is located 2 m to theleft of the origin, and when t = 2 s, it is 20 m to the leftof the origin. Determine the position of the particlewhen t = 5 s. Draw a diagram showing the positionof the particle.
Chapter 02, Problem 10 In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.26 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.62 km with an average velocity of 2.54 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.381 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)? dw VE West East dɛ Number Units the tolerance is +/-2% Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work
