Check Your Understanding Verify that vector v V obtained in Example 2.14 is indeed a unit vector by computing its magnitude. If the convoy in Example 2.8 was moving across a desert flatland—that is, it the third component of its velocity was zero—what is the unit vector of its direction of motion? Which geographic direction does it represent?
Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point? What is your displacement vector? What is the direction of your displacement? Assume the +x -axis is horizontal to the right.
The average distance between Earth and the Sun is 1.5 ✕ 1011 m. (a) Calculate the average speed of Earth in its orbit (assumed to be circular) in meters per second (b) What is this speed in miles per hour? Please answer B
A helicopter starts from an airport and takes the route described. The plane first flies to city A, located 175km away in a direction 30.0o north of east. Next, it flies for 150km 20.0o west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the distance of city C relative to starting point. (Write your final answer in 3 significant figures, include the unit in your final answer)
The planet Jupiter has a radius of 43000 miles and rotates one revolution every 10 hours. What is the linear speed of a point on its equator, in miles per hour? The linear speed is approximately miles per hour. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
On the map, let the +x-axis point east and the +y-axis north. An airplane flies at 880 km/h northwestward direction (i.e., midway between north and west). Can you help me visualize the components of the first velocity, and when the plane flies due south at the same velocity. I understand the answer will be -622.25 for the run, meaning 880*cos(45) for x -axis; the y axis north is 880*sin(45) resulting in 622.5 Please help me visualize the first and second velocity when the plane flies due south at the same velocity? Help me to visualize where one of the velocities due south is zero, and the other is whatever it is. I am afraid I can properly visualize or understand in simple terms what is asked. My point can you help to understand the right angle theorem to the angle.

You receive orders to sail due east for 24.6 mi to put your salvage ship directly over a sunken pirate ship. However, when your divers probe the ocean floor at that location and find no evidence of a ship, you radio back to your source of information, only to discover that the sailing distance was supposed to be 24.6 nautical miles, not regular miles. Use the Length table below to calculate how far horizontally you are from the pirate ship.

A plane is flying at a speed of 320 miles per hour on a bearing of N65°E. Its ground speed is 390 miles per hour and its true course, given by the direction angle of the ground speed vector, is 30°. Find the speed, in miles per hour, and the direction angle, in degrees, of the wind. The speed of the wind is miles per hour. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
An airplane needs to head due north, but there is a wind blowing from the southwest at 80 km/hr. The plane flies with an airspeed of 870 km/hr. To end up flying due north, how mar degrees west of north will the pilot need to fly the plane? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
