As it passes the Grand Bahamas Islands, the eye of hurricane Katrina is moving in a direction of 600 north of west at a speed of 50 kph. Three hours later, it shifts due north where its speed slows to 25 kph. How far from the Grand Bahamas is the eye of the hurricane 4.5 hours after it passes over the island?

You are working at a radar station for the Coast Guard. While everyone else is out to lunch, you hear a distress call from a sinking ship. The ship is located at a distance of 51.2km from the station, at a bearing of 36° west of north. On your radar screen you see the location of four other ships as follows: Quick! Which ship do you contact to help the sinking ship? Ship number one has a distance from station at 36.1km at a bearing of 42° west of north, at maximum speed of 30.0km/h. The ship number two has a distance of 37.3km at a bearing of 61° west of North, at maximum speed of 38.0km/h. The ship number three has a distance from station 10.0km at a bearing of 36° west of North at a maximum speed of 32.0km/h. The ship number four has a distance from station 51.2km at a bearing 79° west of North at maximum speed of 45.0km/h. Which ship will get there in the shortest time interval? Assume that each ship would accelerate quickly to its maximum speed and then maintain that constant speed…
Plane A is flying at 440mph in the northeast direction relative to the earth. Plane B is flying at 550mph in the north direction relative to the earth. What is the speed of Plane B as observed from Plane A?
The distance between Saturn and the sun is approximately 8.9 × 108 mi. The speed of light is approximately 1.9 × 105 miles per second. How long does it take light to travel from the sun to Saturn? Answer in units of sec.
I am flying from Kansas City to Denver. My flight leaves Kansas City at 4:30 pm. I land in Denver at 4:25 pm on the same day. Denver and Kansas city are 320 miles apart. How is this possible?
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.
You are working for a window-manufacturing company. The company has just landed a new contract for homes being built in Alaska. There is some concern about the windows surviving in an area where fierce hailstorms occur with some regularity. Because of strong horizontal winds, the hailstones often fall at an angle of 0 = 45.0° to the ground. Measurements have been made during such winds with the following typical results: hailstones strike vertical surfaces at an average rate of 2,200 per minute per square meter of vertical surface. The hailstones have an average mass of m= 5.00 g and an average speed of v = 7.70 m/s. For your report to your supervisor, determine the following on a window of area A = 0.750 m² due to the hailstones. (Assume the collisions are elastic.) (a) the average force (in N) N (b) the average pressure (in Pa) Pa
A ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. The ball is given an initial velocity of 8.50 m/s at an angle of 18.0°C below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 5.00 s later. Answer (a) How far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? (b) Find the height from which the ball was thrown. (c) How long does it take the ball to reach a point 10.0 m below the level of launching? Use 4 decimal places.
A plane flies through wind that blows with a speed of 150 km/hr in the direction N 60° W. The plane has air speed of 500 km/hr and headed in the direction N 40° E. Determine the actual speed and direction of the plane.
You are driving 957 miles from Houston Texas to Saint Leo FLorida. Your car gets 30 miles per gallon ( mpg) on the highway. The average cost of gasoline is $2.50 per gallon, along the route you will be driving. How much will the gasoline cost, that is required to drive this distance?
After enjoying her stay in Paris, Emily wanted to head to the airport, which is 5.73 km 14° S of W from her accomodation. Before heading to the airport, she went to the souvenir shop, which is 2.15 km 32° N of W from her accomodation. She then took a meal in a cafe 0.8 km west of the souvenir shop. A. Sketch the problemB. How far and in what direction should Emily travel from the cafe to the airport?
After spending an entire year together in an apartment, Grover and Elmo have decided to have some extended time apart in different parts of the state. When they get to the airport, they find out that there is a 65.000 km/hr wind that points 55.000 degrees E of S. Grover's plane flies for 75.000 minutes before arriving at his vacation destination, which is 60.000 km W and 150.000 km S of the airport. (a) Find the magnitude and direction of Grover's plane's velocity with respect to Earth in km/h.(b) Find the direction and magnitude of the velocity of Grover's plane with respect to the wind in km/h.(c) Draw a picture showing how the vectors add together graphically for Grover's plane during his trip. Clearly label each vector with its variable name as well as its magnitude and direction. (Hint: Make your picture large enough so that those labels are clearly visible.)(d) The plane that Elmo flew in has an airspeed of 45.000 km/hr. In what direction must the plane point so that it can…
A ship is spotted from two lighthouses, A and B at 1 P.M. From lighthouse A, which is 39.2 km due west of lighthouse B, the ship is N 36° E. From lighthouse B, the ship is N 75° W. At 1:15 P.M., from lighthouse A, it is observed that the ship's position is N 48° E while from lighthouse B, it is still N 75° W. What is the average speed of the ship between the two sightings? A. 11.92 km/hr B. 11.21 km/hr C. 10.12 km/hr D. 10.76 km/hr
