An archer wishes to shoot an arrow at a target at eye level a distance of 41.5 m away. If the initial speed imparted to the arrow is 73.2 m/s, what angle should the arrow make with the horizontal as it is being shot?
A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, intending to head due north at 7.5 m/s relative to the water. However, the local ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0º north of east and changes the ship's intended motion. In what direction would the ship have to travel in order to have a resulant velocity straight north relative to the earth, assuming the speed relative to the water reamins 7.5 m/s? Specicify the angle west of north, relative to earth? And what would the ship's speed be relative to the Earth, in meters per second
A jet airliner, moving initially at 300mi/h to the east, suddenly enters a region where the wind is blowing at 100mi/h toward the direction 30.0 north of east. What are the new speed and direction of the aircraft relative to the ground?
A jetliner with an airspeed of 1000 km/hr sets out on a 1500 km flight due south. To maintain a southward direction, however, the plane must be pointed fifteen degrees west of south. If the flight takes 100 min, what is the wind velocity?
