A boat is aimed at the opposite shore of a 324.06 m wide river and rowed at a speed of 4.02 m/s relative to the water. The current in the river is at a right angle to the velocity of the boat relative to the water. The current in the river is at 3.43 m/s. What is the actual velocity of the boat relative to shore? Give your angle as the angle the actual velocity makes with the velocity of the boat relative to the water. V= 0 =

An ice hockey player is moving at 8.00 m/s when he hitsthe puck toward the goal. The speed of the puck relative tothe player is 29.0 m/s. The line between the center of the goaland the player makes a 90.0º angle relative to his path. What angle must the puck’s velocitymake relative to the player (in his frame of reference) to hitthe center of the goal?
A boat crosses a river of width 225 m in whichthe current has a uniform speed of 1.35 m/s.The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e., the direction in which the boat points) perpendicularto the river and a throttle setting to give aconstant speed of 2.92 m/s relative to the water.What is the magnitude of the speed of theboat relative to a stationary shore observer?Answer in units of m/s. How far downstream from the initial positionis the boat when it reaches the opposite shore?Answer in units of m
A helicopter flies 78.0 m above the ground at 208 km/h horizontally and attempts to drop a package from rest, relative to the helicopter’s frame of reference, into an open (convertible) car that’s traveling at 156 km/h. (a) At what angle θ, as shown below, should the car be in her line of sight when the package is released? (b) At what angle does the package land in the car?Can you solve this with a detailed explanation
A projectile is shot at a hill, the base of which is 330 m away. The projectile is shot at 60° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 74 m/s. The hill can be approximated by a plane sloped at 18° to the horizontal. Relative to the coordinate system shown in the following figure, the equation of this straight line is y = x tan(18°) − 107. Where on the hill does the projectile land? (Enter your answer in meters as an ordered pair in the form x, y. Do not include units in your answer.)
If a projectile is fired from the origin of the coordinate system with an initial velocity υ0 and in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal, calculate the time required for the projectile to cross a line passing through the origin and making an angle β < α with the horizontal.
