Question 1: A helicopter flies with an airspeed of 42.5 m/s [W]. If the wind is traveling with a velocity of 25.0 m/s [E30°S] relative to the ground then determine the velocity of the helicopter relative to the ground. a. Use the data from the question to determine the velocity components for the helicopter's speed relative to the air and the wind's speed relative to the ground. b. Use your velocity components from part (a) and determine the resultant velocity for each component. (In other words, determine the resultant horizontal component for the helicopter's ground speed and the resultant vertical component for the helicopter's

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.
You fly 32.0 km in a straight line in still air in the direction 35.0 south of west. (a) Find the distances you would have to fly due south and then due west to arrive at the same point. (b) Find the distances you would have to fly first in a direction 45.0south of west and then in a direction 45.0 west of north. Note these are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes-namely, the one rotated by 45 with respect to the axes in (a).
A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00c north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0 west of north from Atlanta. Figure P3.18 shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. Figure P3.18

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)

Two bicyclists, starting at the same place, are riding toward the same campground by different routes. One cyclist rides 1110 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1470 m before reaching the campground.
