A ship is on course for The Netherlands, heading North at 7.00 m/s. The ocean current is moving at 1.50 m/s in a direction of 40.0 degrees NE. What is the resultant velocity of the ship, and it's resultant direction?

A jet airliner is moving east at 225 m/s, but experiences a head wind heading north at 50.0 m/s.   b) When determining speed of the airliner, does it have to do with calculating speed, based on the two "givens" to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle?

A boat is traveling upstream at 12 km/h with respect to the water of a river. The water is flowing at 7.0 km/h with respect to the ground. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity with respect to the ground? A child on the boat walks from front to rear at 6.0 km/h with respect to the boat. What are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the child's velocity with respect to the ground? (a) Number i (b) (c) Number (d) Units Units

Two ships A and B leave the same port at 3:00 p.m. Ship takes a course N 43°43'W at 30 km per hour while B sails due north. At 5:00 pm., B is directly east of A. What is the speed of ship B and what is the distance between the two ships?

A pilot starting from Athens, New York, wishes to fly to Sparta, New York, which is 381 km from Athens in the direction 22° N of E. The pilot heads directly for Sparta and flies at an airspeed of 151 km/h. After flying for 2.52 h, the pilot expects to be at Sparta, but instead he finds himself 16 km due west of Sparta. He has forgotten to correct for the wind. (a) What is the velocity of the plane relative to the air? (b) Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the plane relative to the ground. (c) Find the wind speed and direction. Please be thorough.

3. A plane is travelling with a velocity relative to the air of 3.5 × 10² km/h [N 35° W] as it passes over Kitchener-Waterloo. The wind velocity is 62 km/h [S]. a) Determine the velocity of the plane relative to the ground. Ans: 3.0 × 10² km/h [N42° W] b) Determine the displacement of the plane after 1.2 h. Ans: 3.6 × 10² km [N 42° W]

A migrating salmon heads in the direction N 45° E swimming 8. 5 mi/hr relative to the water. The ocean currents in the area flow due East at 3 mi/hr. Find the true velocity of the fish as a vector and find its speed, the magnitude of this velocity vector.

an airplane is heading due east at the speed of 550 mi/h (246m/s) relative to the ground. the jet stream is blowing 30.0 degrees north of east with a speed of 53.0 mi/h (23.7m/s). determine the magnitude and direction of the jet stream velocity as measured in the airplane

A rowboat crosses a river with a velocity of 3.48 mi/h at an angle 62.5° north of west relative to the water. The river is 0.870 mi wide and carries an eastward current of 1.25 mi/h. How far upstream is the boat when it reaches the opposite shore? ft

Problem 1.A boat traveling east covers a distance of 40.0 m in 20.0 s. It encounters a current moving at a speed of 2.50 m/s traveling north. Find the resultant velocity of the boat. 2.A riverboat travels with a velocity of 4.60 m/s from one shore to another. The velocity of the river is 2.30 m/s. If the width of the river is 72.0 m, how far does the boat travel downstream to reach the other shore? 3. A bus travels from west to east with a velocity of 11.5 m/s. A marble rolls on the surface of the bus floor with a velocity of 0.200 m/s north. What is the velocity of the marble relative to the road? 4. A human cannonball is launched from a cannon at 20 m/s at 45° above the horizontal. What is the maximum height of the human cannonball? 5. A human cannonball is launched from a cannon at 20 m/s at 45° above the horizontal. What is the range of the human cannonball? 6. A football is kicked from a tee at 12 m/s at 72° above the horizontal. What is the flight time of the football? 7. An…
