A small, experimental aluminum airplane leaves its classified location on a fogsy and overcast day, and is later acidentally sighted 215 km away, moving in a direction making an angle of 22° east of due north. This means that the direction is not due north (directly toward the north) but is rotated 22° toward the east from due north. How far east and north is the airplane from its classified staring point when it is sighted? please include the procedure.

A surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks 100 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is 35 . How wide is the river?

MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER Two geological field teams are working in a remote area. A global positioning system (GPS) tracker at their base camp shows the location of the first team as 36 km away, 18° north of west, and the second team as 31 km away, 33° east of north. When the first team uses its GPS to check the position of the second team, what does the GPS give for the following? (a) the second team's distance from the first team 51.38 X km (b) the second team's direction from the first team, measured relative to due east o north of due east v Additional Materials eBook P Type here to search 9 College Physics I: C.

A small airplane leaves an airport on an overcast day and is later sighted 215 km away, in a direction making an angle of 22° east of due north. This means that the direction is not due north (directly toward the north) but is rotated 22° toward the east from due north. How far east and north is the airplane from the airport when sighted?
On a random Thursday morning, I drive from my house to the Stanly County Convenience Ceter near Millingport, a distance of 2.0625 miles, at a 39° angle south of east. I then drive to the post office in Richfield, a distance of 7.4375 miles at an angle of 62° north of east. How far and in what direction is the post office from my house?
A yacht radioed a distress call to a Coast Guard station. From the time of the call, the boat was carriedaway by the sea currents 100.0 km in a direction of 75.0° East of North. The yacht was later found115 km, 61.9° North of East away from the Coast Guard station. At the time of distress call, what isthe location of the boat from the Coast Guard station?

bn nas set his GPS to track his route. At the end of his hike, his GPS indicates that he walked 3.50 miles north, 1.00 miles at 45 degrees north of east, and 1.50 miles south. How far away is Bill from his starting position? And in what direction is he? Provide the direction in number of degrees in reference to the cardinal directions (North of East, South of West, etc.).
Use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve the problem.A plane has an airspeed of 185 miles per hour and a heading of 30.0°. The ground speed of the plane is 221 miles per hour, and its true course is in the direction of 40.0°. Find the speed and direction of the air currents, assuming they are constants.

You receive orders to sail due east for 28.2 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 28.2 nautical miles, not regular miles. Use the Length table below to calculate how far horizontally you are from the pirate ship.
