A person sitting in a train that is moving at 17.63 m/s due east is watching a crow fly over. The crow is flying 7.12 m/s at 5.71 degrees south of east. What is the apparent velocity of the crow relative to the passenger in the train? (Take the +x direction to be east. Calculate angles from the +x axis.) What is the angle from the +x axis?

An airplane pilot wishes to fly to his destination 500 mi due west, but the wind is blowing at 28.7 mi/hr toward 25.7° north of west. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 169.1 mi/hr. At what angle (south of west) must the pilot orient the plane in order to fly to his destination directly? If the pilot orients the plane at that angle, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?
In calm air a plane flying from the Pedimaxus International Airport can reach Cliffs of insanity in two hours by following a bearing of N8.2 degrees East at 96 miles an hour.

An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.395 m above his mouth. A) What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit?

An enemy ship is on the east side of a mountain island, as shown in the figure. The enemy ship has maneuvered to within d1 = 2077 m of the h = 1940 m high mountain peak and can shoot projectiles with an initial speed of vi = 244 m/s. If the western shoreline is horizontally d2 = 273 m from the peak, what are the distances from the western shore at which a ship can be safe from the bombardment of the enemy ship?
A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes the route shown in Figure P3.19. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a direction 30.0° north of east. Next, it flies for 150 km 20.0° west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the location of the starting point.
