A cruise ship maintains a speed of 16 knots (nautical miles per hour) sailing from San Juan to Barbados, a distance of 600 nautical miles. To avoid a tropical storm, the captain heads out of San Juan at a direction of 24° off a direct heading to Barbados. The captain maintains the 16-knot speed for 8 hours, after which time the path to Barbados becomes clear of storms. (a) Through what angle should the captain turn to head directly to Barbados?
The eye of a hurricane passes over Grand Bahama Island in a direction 60.0 north of west with a speed of 41.0 km/h. Three hours later the course of the hurricane suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to 25.0 km/h. How far from Grand Bahama is the hurricane 4.50 h after it passes over the island?
Consider a river that spreads out in a delta region on its way to the sea. Construct a problem in which you calculate the average speed at which water moves in the delta region, based on the speed at which it was moving up river. Among the things to consider are the size and flow rate of the river before it spreads out and its size once it has spread out. You can construct the problem for the river spreading out into one large river or into multiple smaller rivers.

b)As the air sinks down, it is channeled through narrow valleys and so speeds up. In the desert the wind blows at about 5 miles per hour across an area of 100 square miles (width x height in the atmosphere). It is then squeezed into an area of just 20 square miles as it blows through narrow valleys in the mountains around Los Angeles. Assume that airflow must stay constant, what would the velocity of the air be? (2) Airflow = area * velocity c) Vegetation has to be heated up to 330 oC in order to ignite. Can you explain, using the physics we learned in class, why vegetation that contains more water does not ignite as easily as dry/dead vegetation? (2)
