Two birds begin next to each other and then fly through the air at the same elevation above level ground at 22.5 m/s. One flies northeast, and the other flies northwest. After flying for 10.5 s, what is the distance between them? Ignore the curvature of the Earth.
A river is moving east at 4 m/s. A boat starts from the dock heading 30 north of west at 7 m/s. If the river is 1800 m wide, (a) what is the velocity of the boat with respect to Earth and (b) how long does it take the boat to cross the river?
6. A river is 85 meters wide, and has a current speed of 5.0 m/s. A swimmer is capable of swimming at 8.0 m/sin a pool.a) If the swimmer pointed directly across the river, how far downstream would they end up aftercrossing the river? b) If the swimmer wished to traverse directly across the river, what angle should they direct theirswim?
15. A ship bearing N 30-degrees W moves 3 hours at 17 miles per hour. It then turns 50 degrees starboard (to the right) to continue for 4 hours at 21 miles per hour. Finally the ship turns to a bearing of S 20-degrees E and travels for 1 hour at 12 miles per hour. Where is the ship's final location relative to its start?

A jet airliner moving initially at 310 mi/h due East enters a region where the wind is blowing at 100 mi/h in a direction 34.0° north of east. (Let the direction be eastward and the y-direction be northward.) Find the components of the velocity of the jet airliner relative to the air, V JA
Geese migrate along north and south directions for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases traveling speeds up to about 100 km/h. If one such bird is flying at 100km/h relative to the air but there is a 34.0 km/h wind blowing from the west to east. A.) at what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head so that it will be traveling directly southward relative to the ground? Express answer in degrees b.) how long will it take the bird to cover a ground distance of 500 km from north to south? ( Note: Even on cloudy nights many birds navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction)
3. 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 14 m/sm/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 15 m/s relative to the air, in what direction should they head in order to move directly south? Please answer in degrees west of south
Two ships A and B leave the same port at 3:00 p.m. Ship takes a course N 43°43'W at 30 km per hour while B sails due north. At 5:00 pm., B is directly east of A. What is the speed of ship B and what is the distance between the two ships?
An athlete crosses a 28 meters wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 1.1 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance of 42 meters downstream from his starting point. w = 28md = 42m vs = 1.1m/s How fast is the water in the river flowing with respect to the ground in m/s?
Mr. M is walking to Mr. T’s house. He takes a short cut across an open field. His first displacement is 140m [E35N]. He then walks 200.0m [E]. What is Mr. M’s total displacement? (320m [E14N])
3.37 Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/hkm/h. The one goose is flying at 100 km/hkm/h relative to the air but a 42 km/hkm/h wind is blowing from west to east. 1. At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground? Express your answer using three significant figures. 2. How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 kmkm from north to south? (Note: Even on cloudy nights, many birds can navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction.) Express your answer using three significant figures.
