3 An F/A-18 Super Hornet cruises at 770 mph while monitoring a UFO with the
appearance of a flying saucer. While the Hornet flies east over the ground, the
saucer moves north at 580 mph with respect to the ground.
A) Find the speed of the saucer with respect to the Hornet. In order words,
calculate the flying saucer's speed in the reference frame of the Hornet.
B) Find the direction of the saucer's velocity in the reference frame of the Hornet.
In other words, calculate the direction the saucer appears to be moving as seen by
the pilot in the Hornet. Indicate this direction in a diagram and also with words.
C) Find the direction and magnitude of the Hornet's velocity in the reference frame
of the saucer. Hint: This should be very easy to do after answering A and B!
