The eye of a hurricane passes over Grand Bahama Island in a direction 60.0° north of west with a speed of 43.0 km/h. Three hours later, the course of the hurricane suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to 26.0 km/h. How far from Grand Bahama is the hurricane 4.30 h after it passes over the island?

An airplane flies due north through the air at a speed of  75 m/s in a wind from the west at 10 m/s. What is the ground speed of the plane and what direction will it go?

An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 90.0 km/h is blowing toward the south.   If the airspeed of the plane (its speed in still air) is 375.0 km/h , in which direction should the pilot head? What is the speed of the plane over the ground?

an airplane is heading due east at the speed of 550 mi/h (246m/s) relative to the ground. the jet stream is blowing 30.0 degrees north of east with a speed of 53.0 mi/h (23.7m/s). determine the magnitude and direction of the jet stream velocity as measured in the airplane

A rowboat crosses a river with a velocity of 3.48 mi/h at an angle 62.5° north of west relative to the water. The river is 0.870 mi wide and carries an eastward current of 1.25 mi/h. How far upstream is the boat when it reaches the opposite shore? ft

A small boat sailed straight north out of a harbor in strong east wind (blowing from west to east). 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? Pick the correct answer O O O O 13. m/s 0.42 m/s 0.50 m/s 0.21 m/s 0.36 m/s East Wind ttt Harbor

A soccer ball is kicked at a speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 43.0 degrees above the horizontal. The ball is in the air for 3.70 s.What is the difference in height between where the ball was kicked and where it lands?

A pilot is in his plane with the intention of flying to Nunavut. From the current location, Nunavut is [N 9.0W]. The flight tracker estimates the distance from Toronto to Nunavut is approximate 3.0x103km. The plane hasthe capability to fly at an airspeed of 890 km/hr. The pilot aims the plane at a heading [N], and lands in Nunavutdirectly. If the flight takes 3.33 hrs to complete: a. What is the velocity of the plane relative to the Earth? b. What was the wind velocity present on that day?

10. A pilot maintains a heading due west with an air speed of 240 km/h. After flying for 30 min, he finds himself over a town that he knows is 150 km west and 40 km south of his starting point. (a) What is the wind velocity, in magnitude and direction? (b) What heading should he now maintain, with the same air speed, to follow a course due west from the town?

A cannonball is aimed 36.9° above the horizontal and is fired with an initial speed of 180 m/s at ground level.  How far away from the cannon will the cannonball hit the ground?
