A jetliner with an airspeed of 1000 km/hr sets out on a 1500 km flight due south. To maintain a southward direction, however, the plane must be pointed fifteen degrees west of south. If the flight takes 100 min, what is the wind velocity?
Coast Guard rescue swimmers are trained toleap from helicopters into the sea to save boaters in distress. Therescuers like to step off their helicopter when it is “ten and ten,”which means that it is ten feet above the water and moving forward horizontally at ten knots. What are (a) the speed and (b) thedirection of motion as a rescue swimmer enters the water following a ten and ten jump?
Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
A firefighter, a distance d from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a fire hose at angle i above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.16. If the initial speed of the stream is vi, at what height h does the water strike the building? Figure P3.16

Eddie Manalak is a Filipino stuntman, he wishes to cross the 520m distance between two tall buildings by being shot from a cannon. He wishes to be launched at 60° to the horizontal so that he can spend more time in waving to the crowd. With what speed must he be launched? ANS. 76.7 m/s
A plane that is capable of travelling at 140 m/s wishes to travel due north from City A to City B, 500 km away, but encounters a constant crosswind that blows 25 m/s due west. What must the plane’s heading be in order to reach its destination? Suppose the pilot has no navigational expertise and decides to aim straight for City B. How far west of City B will the plane end up?
A basketball player shoots toward a basket 6.1 m away and 3.0 m above the floor. If the ball is released 1.8 m above the floor at an angle of 60° above the horizontal, what must the initial speed be if it were to go through the basket?
A squirrel is launched due west from a height of 10 meters with an initial velocity of 80 meters per second atan angle of 60 degrees above horizontal. A strong wind blowing directly out of the north causes the squirrel toaccelerate south at a rate of 2 m/s^2. All of this takes place in my backyard where acceleration due to gravity is 7 m/s2 (a) With the positive y–axis oriented north, the positive x–axis oriented east, and the positive z–axis up into the sky, findthe vector equation for the path of the squirrel. (b) Find the time when the squirrel is at her maximum height.
A canon fires its shell out at a speed of 161.4m/s and at an angle of 36 degrees above horizontal. How long will it take for the sheel to come back down, assuming a level ground?
A daredevil drove his motorcycle up an incline at 30 degree angle with the horizontal and got air borne at the end of the incline at 20 m/s, 11 m above the ground. How far horizontally did he land with his motorcycle on the ground, on a safety net?
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?
