In the Mississippi river banks in Louisiana, a tug boat leaves a harbor and sails 5.0 km in the direction 45 degrees south of east, where the captain stops to pick up a small load of crabs. A short time later, the boat sails 1.0 km in the direction west. What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant displacement from the harbor?
A passenger walks from one side of a ferry to the other as it approaches a dock. If the passenger's velocity is 1.5 m/s due north relative to the ferry, and 4.5 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees west of north relative to the water, what are the magnitude and direction of the ferry's velocity relative to the water?
Suppose Alex is navigating using a compass. She starts walking at an angle 60° north of east and walks a total of 100 m. How far north is she from her starting point? How far east?
A dolphin wants to swim directly back to its home bay, which is 0.800 km due west. It can swim at a speed of 5.00 m/s relative to the water, but a uniform water current flows with speed 2.83 m/s in the southeast direction. What direction should the dolphin head? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates south of west and negative indicates north of west.
A jet airliner moving initially at 2.95 ✕ 102 mi/h due east enters a region where the wind is blowing at 1.00 ✕ 102 mi/h in a direction 27.0° north of east.
