A pilot wishes to fly from Bayfield to Kitchener, a distance of 100 km on a bearing of 100°. The speed of the plane in still air is 250 km/h. A 25 km/h wind is blowing on a bearing of 215°. A villain turns on a magnet that exerts a force equivalent to 5 km/h on a bearing of 210° on the airplane in the sky. Find how long the trip will take.

A speedboat with a mass of 545 kg545 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 32.7 m32.7 m cable. The boat's owner loves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runs the boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable is steady at 13700 N,13700 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Different physics textbooks treat drag force somewhat differently and use different formulas. For the present purpose, take the water's drag force on the boat to be (450 kg/m)×?2,(450 kg/m)×v2, where ?v denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable.

A shuttlecock is launched from the ground with an initial speed of 38.694 m/s at an angle of 7.4948 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The shuttlecock experiences air resistance with a drag coefficient of 0.1781 in an environment where the air density is 0.9586 kg/m3. If the shuttlecock has a radius of 3.4 cm and a mass of 5.2 grams, what is the maximum height reached by the shuttlecock? Assume that the experiment is done near the surface of the earth.
