Kevin flies (in his private jet) from Los Angeles (LA) to San Francisco (SF), a distance of 450 miles, in 3 hours. He flies back in 2-7/19 hours. If the wind is blowing from the north at a steady rate during both flights, find the velocity of the wind.

An airplane travels 2100 km at a speed of 720 km/h and then encounters a tailwind that boosts its speed to 990 km/h for the next 2800 km. What was the total time for the trip? What was the average speed of the plane for this trip?[Hint: Does Eq. 2–11d apply?

From January 26, 1977, to September 18, 1983, George Meegan of Great Britain walked from Ushuaia, at the southern tip of South America, to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, covering 30 600 km. In meters per second, what was the magnitude of his average velocity during that time period?
4. At 12:00 noon, an arctic explorer starts heading back to his base camp located 5.15 km due north, when a snowstorm suddenly rolls in. Due to poor visibility, he ends up walking 6.22 km at 15.0o east of north until the storm breaks. a) After the storm breaks, how far and in what direction must he walk to get back to his camp? b) If he walks at a constant speed and gets back to his camp at 2:30 PM, at what time (to the nearest minute) did the storm break?
After feeding, an arctic tern is flying back to its nest at 24km/h for 72 kilometres. It then starts to snow so the bird slows to 18 km/h. The bird arrives back at the nest after flying for a total of 7 hours and 20 minutes. How far is the nest from the feeding ground?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour 45 minutes. She then makes a course correction, heading 30 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 hours 30 minutes in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 340 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? Give your answer to the nearest mile.
A three-toed sloth is the slowest moving land mammal. On the ground, the sloth moves at an average speed of 0.037 m/sec, considerably slower than the giant tortoise, which walks at 0.076 m/sec. After 12 minutes (720 seconds) of walking, how much further would the tortoise have gone relative to the sloth?
