A pilot must fly a plane due north (90 degrees) to reach a destination. The plane can fly at 323 km/h in still air. A wind is blowing out of the northeast (225 degrees) at 40 km/h. What is the speed of the plane relative to the ground? The pilot must point the plane to the east of north in order to compensate for the wind speed.

A fireman d = 50.0 m away from a burning building directs a stream of water from a ground-level fire hose at an angle of i = 30.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.18. If the speed of the stream as it leaves the hose is vi = 40.0 m/s, at what height will the stream of water strike the building? Figure P3.18
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 daredevil drove his motorcycle up an incline at 30 degree angle with the horizontal and got air borne at the end of the incline at 20 m/s, 11 m above the ground. How far horizontally did he land with his motorcycle on the ground, on a safety net?
A jetliner with an airspeed of 1000 km/hr sets out on a 1500 km flight due south. To maintain a southward direction, however, the plane must be pointed fifteen degrees west of south. If the flight takes 100 min, what is the wind velocity?
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? (In degrees)
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?
In an airplane that has an air speed of 250 mi/hr, a pilot wishes to fly due north. If there is a wind blowing at 60 mi/hr toward the east, (a) what should be the compass heading? (b) what will be the plane’s ground speed?
A field biologist is studying the migration patterns of northern gannets (a type of seabird). On one particularday, she records that they fly 5.0 km northeast, then turn toward to the south of east by 30 degrees and fly 4.0 kmin the new direction. How far north or south of their original position are the birds?
