Isabella boarded a ferris wheel. She traveled from the 6 o clock position, the radius being 22 yards. She traveled counter clockwise but suddendly stopped before reaching the 12 o clock position. She identified that her position was 21 yards above the vertical midline of the ferris wheel. The backup batteries of the ferris wheel kicked in and pushed her an additional 120 degrees. Does Isabella reach the 9 o clock position? Justify your answer
A plane is flying at a speed of 320 miles per hour on a bearing of N65°E. Its ground speed is 390 miles per hour and its true course, given by the direction angle of the ground speed vector, is 30°. Find the speed, in miles per hour, and the direction angle, in degrees, of the wind. The speed of the wind is miles per hour. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
Jack goes for a ride on a ferris wheel that has a radius of 37 meters. The center of the ferris wheel is 49 meters above the ground. He starts his ride at the 12 o'clock position and travels counter clockwise. Define a function g that represents Jack's horizontal distance in meters relative to vertical midline of the wheel in terms of the angle (measured in radians) Jack makes with the center.
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.3 km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 8.4 km at 46° north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (south of due west) must he now travel to reach base camp? (a) Number i Units km (b) Number i Units ° (degrees)
A ship sets out to sail to a point 142 km due north. An unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 130 km due east of its starting point. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (as an angle from due east, where north of east is a positive angle) must it now sail to reach its original destination?

An air traffic controller notices two signals from two planes on the radar monitor. One plane is at altitude 800 m and in a 19.2-km horizontal distance to the tower in a direction 25° south of west. The second plane is at altitude 1100 m and its horizontal distance is 17.6 km and 20° south of west. What is the distance between these planes?
An air traffic control tower radar operator locates a plane at a distance of 16.9 miles at a heading of 065° relative to the tower. Forty-five (45) seconds later, the operator locates the same plane at a distance of 19.1 miles at a heading of 073 Find the speed of the airplane and the heading along which it is traveling.
A plane is flying at 325 km/h [E 50° N] relative to the ground when the wind velocity is 65 km/h [W 35° S]. Calculate the velocity of the plane relative to the air.
