In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?

Q2/ Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different directions. Ricardo walks 26.0 m in a direction 6Oo west of north. Jane walks 16.0 m in a direction 30o south of west. They then stop and turn to face each other.
The problem relates to the gliding flight of flying squirrels. These squirrels glide from tree to tree at a constant speed, moving in a straight line tipped below the vertical and steadily losing altitude as they move forward. Short and long glides have different profiles. A squirrel in a typical long glide covers a horizontal distance of 16 m while losing 8.0 m of elevation. During this glide,a. What is the angle of the squirrel’s path below the horizontal?b. What is the total distance covered by the squirrel?
Please answer quick You are watching a human cannon ball act. The canon is pointed up at an angle of 43.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The exit point of the cannon is 1.20m up from the ground. A 58.2kg acrobat flies out at a speed of 22.1m/s. She lands in a safety net that is 2.50 m above her take off point. a) how long was the acrobat in the air? b) how far forward will the acrobat have travelled 0.750s after leaving the cannon ? c) what is the total initial energy of the Acrobat as she leaves the cannon ? d) Determine the maximum height above the ground reached by the acrobat.
A ball is thrown at an initial height of 65 feet at an initial velocity of 75 feet/second at an angle of 65 degrees. Given the parametric equations yY = - - 16t + Vo · Sin(0)t + ho and x = Vo Cos(0)t. When doing calculations, carry 5 digits of accuracy, so your round off does not build up. a. What is the ball's height in 3 seconds? feet. seconds. b. When will the object hit the ground? feet. c. How far horizontally will the ball be when it hits the ground? seconds. d. When will the ball be at its maximum height? e. What is the ball's maximum height? feet. feet f. How far horizontally will the ball be when it reaches its maximum height?
A cannonball is shot with an initial speed of 66 m/s and 37.0º angle with respect to the ground. How long does it take for the ball to reach its the maximum height, in seconds? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
