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 trapper walks a 5.0-lan straight-line distance from her cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Determine the east and north components of her displacement vector. How many more kilometers would she have to walk if she walked along the component displacements? What is her displacement vector?

A swimmer heads 30◦ west of north relative to the water of a 200-m wide river as shown in the figure. Due to theeastward current of the water, when she reaches the opposite bank she finds herself 480 m east of her startingpoint. What is the speed of the river’s current if she can swim with a speed of vS/W = 0.50 m/s in still water?
In 2007, Michael Carter (U.S.) set a world record in theshot put with a throw of 24.77 m. What was the initial speedof the shot if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw itat an angle of 38.0º above the horizontal? (Although themaximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achievedat 45º when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle toachieve maximum range is smaller; thus, 38º will give alonger range than 45º in the shot put.)
A novice golfer on the green takes three strokes to sink the ball. The successivedisplacements of the ball are 4.00 m to the north, 2.00 m northeast and 1.00 m at 30.0owest of south. Starting at the same initial point, an expert golfer could make the hole inwhat single displacement?
