A boat travels down a river. Relative to the riverbank, the water moves at a constant speed of 22 m/s in a direction of 60 NW. A woman on the boat drops a flask into the river. After 1.2 seconds the woman noticed the flask, moring with the water, had traveled 18 m in a direction of 20 SE. A REMINDER: A velocity is a magnitude and direction For cach of the following, a justification (rule) and answer are required. A. Relative to thc water, what is the velocity of the riverbank? B. Relative to the boat, what is the velocity of the boat? C. Relative to the water, what is the velocity of the boat D. Relative to the riverbank, what is the velocity of the boat? E. Drawa bird's eye view, from the boat's perspective, displaying the other objects velocities (The water, the riverbank, and the flask)

In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?
