A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?
(a) Another airplane is flying in a jet stream that is blowing at 45.0 m/s in a direction 20° south of east (as in Exercise 3.58). Its direction of motion relative to the Earth is 45.0° south of west, while its direction of travel relative to the air is 5.00° south of west. What is the airplane's speed relative to the air mass? (b) What is the airplane's speed relative to the Earth?
In the control tower at a regional airport, an air traffic controller monitors two aircraft as their positions change with respect to the control tower. One plane is a cargo carrier Boeing 747 and the other plane is a Douglas DC-3. The Boeing is at an altitude of 2500 m, climbing at 100 above the horizontal, and moving 30 north of west. The DC-3 is at an altitude of 3000 m, climbing at 50 above the horizontal, and cruising directly west. (a) Find the position vectors of the planes relative to the control tower. (b) What is the distance between the planes at the moment the air traffic controller makes a note about their positions?
(a) In what direction would the ship in Exercise 3.57 have to travel in order to have a velocity straight north relative to the Earth, assuming its speed relative to the water remains 7.00 m/s? (b) What would its speed be relative to the Earth?
A rocket was launched at a 35-degree angle above the horizontal at an initial velocity of +55 m/s. What is the Vy and Vx of this rocket?

How do I set up? A man wandering in the desert walks 3.3 miles in the direction of S44°W. He then turns and walks 2.2 miles in the direction of N55°W. At that time, how far is he from his starting point?
A jet airliner, moving initially at 300mi/h to the east, suddenly enters a region where the wind is blowing at 100mi/h toward the direction 30.0 north of east. What are the new speed and direction of the aircraft relative to the ground?
A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 12 m/s. A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 16 m/s relative to the air, in what direction should they head in order to move directly south?
A 425 m wide river flows North at 2.0 m/s. A turtle points himself directly East and swims at 8.0 m/s. How long will it take to cross the river? How far downriver does he end up? What is his resultant velocity as he crosses the river? What heading should he take in order to head directly East? How long will take to cross the river in this case?
