A small aircraft is headed due south with a speed of 54.5 m/s with respect to still air. Then, for 8.72 x 10's a wind blows the plane so that it moves in a direction 39.7" west of south, even though the plane continues to point due south. The plane travels 94.8 km with respect to the ground in this time. Determine the velocity ((a) speed and (b) direction) of the wind with respect to the ground. Give the directional angle relative to due south. (a) Number (b) Number Units m Units

In 1999, Robbie Knievel was the first to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. At a narrow part of the canyon (69.0 m wide) and traveling 35.8 m/s off the takeoff ramp, he reached the other side. What was his launch angle?
1)An airplane starting from airport A flies 300 km east, then 350 km at 30.0° west of north, and then 150km north to arrive finally at airport B. (a) The next day, another plane flies directly from A to B in astraight line. In what direction should the pilot travel in this direct flight? (b) How far will the pilot travelin this direct flight? Assume there is no wind during these flights.
The captain of a small plane starts his journey by proceeding east. The speed of the plane with respect to still air is160 km/h. A sudden north wind starts to blow at a constant speed of 71.0 km/h. As seen by people on the ground, what is the angle made between the direction of motion of the plane with repectto the east?
Two beetles run across flat sand, starting at the same point. Beetle 1 runs 0.53 m due east, then 0.89 m at 29o north of due east. Beetle 2 also makes two runs; the first is 1.54 m at 49o east of due north. What must be (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (relative to the east direction in the range of (-180°, 180°)) of its second run if it is to end up at the new location of beetle 1?
A minivan travels straight north in the right lane of a divided highway at 28.0 m/s. A camper passes the minivan and then changes from the left lane into the right lane. As it does so, the camper’s path on the road is a straight displacement at 8.50° east of north. To avoid cutting off the minivan, the north–south distance between the camper’s back bumper and the minivan’sfront bumper should not decrease. (a) Can the camper be driven to satisfy this requirement? (b) Explain your answer.
