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 snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.50 m at 16.0 from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in Figure P3.16. Find the components of its maximum displacement (a) parallel to the surface and (b) perpendicular to the surface. Figure P3.16
A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes the route shown in Figure P1.71. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a direction 30.0 north of east. Next, it flies for 150. km 20.0 west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190. km due west, to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the location of the starting point.

In calm air a plane flying from the Pedimaxus International Airport can reach Cliffs of insanity in two hours by following a bearing of N8.2 degrees East at 96 miles an hour. (The distance between the airport and the cliffs is 192 miles. ) If the wind is blowing from the southwest at 25 miles per hour, what speed and bearing should the pilot take so that she makes the trip in two hours along the original heading?
A U.S. Coast Guard Response Boat leaves Charleston, South Carolina at 2:30 p.m. heading due east at an average speed of 25 knots (nautical miles per hour). At 4:30 p.m., the boat changes course to N 17°E. At 9:00 p.m. what is the boat's bearing and distance from Charleston, South Carolina? Round all units to the nearest hundredth.

One afternoon, a couple walks three-fourths of the way around a circular lake, the radius of which is 2.89km. They start at the west side of the lake and head due south to begin with. What is the distance they travel? What is the magnitude of the couple’s displacement? What is the direction (relative to due east) of the couple’s displacement?
A rabbit runs across a parking lot on which a set of coordinate axes has, strangely enough, been drawn. The coordinates (meters) of the rabbit's position as functions of time t (seconds) are given by: x = -0.31t2 +7.2t+28 and y = 0,22t² - 9.1t+ 30. A) Att = 15 s, what is the rabbit's position vector in unit-vector notation and n magnitude-angle notation? B) Find the velocity vector at time t = 15 s. c) find the acceleration a at time t = 15s.
One day, Sofia goes hiking at a nearby nature preserve. At first, she follows the straight, clearly marked trails. From the trailhead, she travels 2.00 miles2.00 miles down the first trail. Then, she turns 30.0 degrees to the left to follow a second trail for 1.10 miles. Next, she turns 160.0 degrees to her right to follow a third trail for 1.90 miles. At this point, Sofia is getting very tired and would like to get back as quickly as possible, but all of the available trails seem to lead her deeper into the woods. She would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods (ignoring the trails). What distance ?SC does she have to walk to take a shortcut directly back to her starting point? ?SC= Through what angle ?SC should she turn to the right in order to take the shortcut directly back to her starting point? ?SC=
Gabby works as an aerial photographer. On one trip she takes off from the airport and flies 52km on a bearing N46°E. She then turns and flies for 43km until she is due east of the airport. How far is Gabby from the airport when she is due east of it? Is there more than one answer, explain.
A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then 60 degree south of east for 20 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30 nautical miles, and sails 30 degreeeast of north for 10 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles. At that time the boat becomes becalmed and the auxiliary engine fails to start. The crew decides to notify the Coast Guard of their position. What is their position?
