A boat is sailing at its maximum speed of 30 km/h, at a bearing of 35°, inside a river flowing due south at 10 km/h. What is the final speed of the boat, and in what direction does it end its trip? if the boat would like to travel due east, in what direction would the boat stir its trip at its same maximum speed in the same river,

A river flows due east with a speed of 3.0 m/s. A boat travels due north across the river from point A to point B. The speed of the boat relative to the water is 6.0 m/s. What is the speed of the boat relative to the earth?
A soccer player is practicing on the field. He kicks a ball with a speed of 32 m/s at a 53-degree angle with respect to the horizontal toward the net. If the horizontal bar of the goal is 2.3 meters above the ground and he is standing 35-yards in from of the goal, does he score a goal or does the ball soar above the net? Answer this question by finding the height of the ball above the ground when it reaches the net.

A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then 60 degree south of east for 20 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30 nautical miles, and sails 30 degreeeast of north for 10 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles. At that time the boat becomes becalmed and the auxiliary engine fails to start. The crew decides to notify the Coast Guard of their position. What is their position?
A rocket carrying a satellite is accelerating straight up from the earth’s surface. At 1.15 s after liftoff, the rocket clears the top of its launch platform, 63 m above the ground. After an additional 4.75 s, it is 1.00 km above the ground. Calculate the magnitude of the average velocity of the rocket for (a) the 4.75 s part of its flight and (b) the first 5.90 s of its flight.
