15. A ship bearing N 30-degrees W moves 3 hours at 17 miles per hour. It then turns 50 degrees starboard (to the right) to continue for 4 hours at 21 miles per hour. Finally the ship turns to a bearing of S 20-degrees E and travels for 1 hour at 12 miles per hour. Where is the ship's final location relative to its start?

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 162 ft, then climbs 147 ft at an angle of 33.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 147 ft at an angle of 42.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) magnitude ____ft direction _____° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

A boat is travelling 72 miles on a course of bearing N 27° E, it then changes its course to travel 37 miles at N 55° E. How far north and how far east has the boat traveled on this 109-mile trip?
A plane leaves Denver and travels 239 miles bearing N77 degrees W, then makes a course correction and travels N33 degrees W for 95 miles. How many miles north of Denver did they travel (round to two decimal places)?
A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00c north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0 west of north from Atlanta. Figure P3.18 shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. Figure P3.18

Ecotourists use their global positioning system indicator to determine their location inside a botanical garden as latitude 0.002 43 degree south of the equator, longitude 75.642 38 degrees west. They wish to visit a tree at latitude 0.001 62 degree north, longitude 75.644 26 degrees west. (a) Determine the straight-line distance and the direction in which they can walk to reach the tree as follows. First model the Earth as a sphere of radius 6.37 106 m to determine the westward and northward displacement components required, in meters. Then model the Earth as a flat surface to complete the calculation. (b) Explain why it is possible to use these two geometrical models together to solve the problem.
