An airplane flies between two points on the ground that are 500 km apart. The destination is directly north of the origination of the flight. The plane flies with an air speed of 120 m/s. If a constant wind blows at 10.0 m/s due west during the flight, what direction must the plane fly relative to north to arrive at the destination? A) 85.2° west of north B) 4.76° west of north C) 4.76° east of north D) 4.78° east of north E) 4.78° west of north

You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land. Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen, out over the ocean surface. The first is at altitude 800 m above the surface, horizontal distance 19.2 km. and 25.0 south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1 100 m, horizontal distance 17.6 km, and 20.0 south of west. Your supervisor is concerned that the two aircraft are too close together and asks for a separatism distance for the two airplanes. (Place the x axis west, the y axis south, and the z axis vertical.)
A helicopter flew N78°W for 1.6 miles and then S64°W for 0.9 miles. a) How far is the helicopter from its starting position? b) What is the true bearing of the helicopter from its starting position?
An airplane is traveling at a speed of 240 miles/hour with a bearing of 110°. The wind velocity is 56 miles/hour at a bearing of 325°. What are the plane's actual speed and direction angle? (hint: the direction angle is measured from the positive x-axis in a counter-clockwise direction) A. The speed is 179.82 miles/hour, and the direction angle is 100.60°. B. The speed is 179.82 miles/hour, and the direction angle is 349.40°. C. The speed is 196.77 miles/hour, and the direction angle is 115.60°. D. The speed is 196.77 miles/hour, and the direction angle is 349.40°.
1 p A plane must follow a resultant path of 18° east of north at a speed of 455 mph. The wind is blowing at 52 mph 18° west of north. Determine the direction that must be followed in ordered to have the desired resultant path. a) 65.038° north of east b) 66.009° north of east c) 67.766° north of east d) 68.443° north of east O A O D
A boat leaves at noon and has a bearing of S 40 degrees E. The boat travels at 40 miles per hour. a) How many miles south and how many miles east will be the boat have traveled at 6:00pm? b) At 6:00pm, the boat turns and starts to travel due east until 9:00pm. At that time, what will be the boat's distance from the dock and what will be the boat's bearing from the dock?
A person is traveling in a plane at 400 miles/hour due east with a strong crosswind blowing from north to south at 200 miles/hour. A) What is the velocity and direction angle of the plane in the crosswind? B) What is the total distance traveled by the airplane in one hour?
A boat travels 72 miles on a course of bearing N 27° E and then changes its course to travel 37 miles at N 55° E. How far north and how far east has the boat traveled on this 109-mile trip?
After enjoying his stay in London, Vaan wanted to head to the airport, which is 5.73 km 14° S of W from his accommodation. Before heading to the airport, he went to the souvenir shop, which is 2.15 km 32° N of W from his accommodation. He then took a meal in a café 0.8 km west of the souvenir shop. How far and in what direction should Vaan travel from the café to the airport?
To get out of the harbor, a container ship sails at a bearing of 240° for 6 km before changing direction due north. If the container ship travels 15 km north from where it changed direction, what is the bearing of the ship relative to the starting point in the harbor?
You go on a long hike by first walking 25 km southeast (i.e., 45° south of east) from your car. You then stop and camp for the night. On the second day, you walk 40 km in a direction 60° north of east. In what direction, as measured from the position of your car, is your final position? (Give your answer to the nearest degree.)
How do I set up? A man wandering in the desert walks 3.3 miles in the direction of S44°W. He then turns and walks 2.2 miles in the direction of N55°W. At that time, how far is he from his starting point?
1. One morning, Connie walks from her house to go to a store that is 500 ft, S 40° W from her house. She starts walking 120 ft, SW; then continues walking 100 ft, 10° S of E; then sees a friend who is 700 ft, 30° N of E from where she is. a) From her friend's location, how far and in what direction should Connie walk to finally get to the store? (Ans. 1133.08 ft, 33.83°S of W)
