A car is driving directly north on the freeway at a speed of 115 km/h and a truck is leaving the freeway driving 86.6 km/h in a direction that is 35° west of north. Assume north to be in the +y-direction and east to be in the +x-direction. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car?

An airplane is traveling in the direction 20o west of north at 500 km/hr. Find the component form of the velocity of the airplane, assuming that the positive x-axis represents due east and the positive y-axis represents due north. What is the component form of the velocity of the airplane? <(__), (__)>. (Round the final answer to one decimal place as needed.)
Pls solve this question quickly and 100% correct. Also could you do it handwritten for me to better understand thank you. A small airplane starts flying at a constant speed of 281 km/h on a heading of N79W. A 68 km/h wind is blowing from N13E. Determine the ground velocity of the airplane. Give direction as a quadrant bearing. Include diagram showing the vector addition with your solution.
A fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball’s initial location on the y axis is y0 = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and v0y = 20 m/s. What is the initial angle (in degrees) of the baseball's velocity? (Write only the numerical value of the answer and exclude the unit)

Lesson: Reaction Time What role does reaction time play in applying the brakes to a car in an emergency situation? Estimate the distance a car travels at 100 km/h during your reaction time in braking. How did you use reaction time in the recent disaster you experienced with the typhoon Odette? Give examples for which reaction time is important in sports.
During her recent trip to the grocery store, Claire de Iles walked 28 m to the end of an aisle. She then made a right hand turn and walked 12 m down the end aisle. Finally, she made another right hand turn and walked 12 m in the opposite direction as her original direction. Determine the magnitude of Claire's resultant displacement using analytical method. (The actual direction - east, west, north, south are not the focus.)
