A catamaran sails due north parallel to a straight shoreline at a constant speed of 8 mph. The captainrecords a bearing of N30°E to a lighthouse on shore. Then, 1.5 hr later, the captain records the bearing to thelighthouse as S42°E. To the nearest tenth of a mile, what is the distance from the catamaran to the lighthouse atthe time the second bearing is recorded?
A pilot sets out from an airport and heads in the direction N 20° E, flying at 200 mph. After one hour, he makes a course correction and heads in the direction N 40° E. Half an hour later, engine trouble forces him to make anemergency landing. Find the distance between the airport and his final landing point.
The vehicle can travel underwater and also fly. It's time to turn it into a superfast
hovercraft to travel on the surface of water. To travel on water, the tires rotate to
become flat, as shown in the image. Find a suitable rate of rotation of the tires
from 90° to 0° if it takes more than 9 s to make a tire horizontal. Plot the
relationship. Write your answer in the boxes given below.
