Question
An aircraft has to fly between two cities, one of which is 600.0 km north of the other. The pilot starts from the southern city and encounters a steady 100.0 km/h wind that blows from the northeast. The plane has a cruising speed of 284.0 km/h in still air.
In what direction (relative to east) must the pilot head her plane? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates north of east and negative indicates south of east
How long does the flight take? h

After sailing for 120 minutes, it ended up hitting a buoy 60° to the north-east of the harbor. If the straight-line distance between the buoy and the harbor is 3 km, what is the speed of the east wind?

- A daredevil is shot out of a cannon at 45.0° to the horizontal with an initial speed of 28.5 m/s. A net is positioned a horizontal distance of 52.5 m from the cannon. At what height above the cannon should the net be placed in order to catch the daredevil? marrow_forwardA dolphin wants to swim directly back to its home bay, which is 0.800 km due west. It can swim at a speed of 5.00 m/s relative to the water, but a uniform water current flows with speed 2.83 m/s in the southeast direction. What direction should the dolphin head? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates south of west and negative indicates north of west.arrow_forwardA plane is headed due west with an air speed of 207 m/s. The wind blows south at 20.0 m/s. Find the velocity of the plane relative to the earth.To solve this problem it will be necessary to determine the plane's velocity relative to the the air. What is the plane's east-west velocity relative to the air? (Define the positive direction to be east.)Additionally, to solve this problem it will be necessary to determine the air's velocity relative to the earth. What is the air's north-south velocity relative to the earth? (Define the positive direction to be north.)arrow_forward
