The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 83 mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current of speed vc = 20 mi/hr but does not change its heading (relative to the water). Determine the subsequent velocity of the boat relative to the wind and express your result as a magnitude vrel and compass direction 0 measured clockwise from north. The current affects the motion of the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed vw = 23 mi/hr does not. 34 B Answers: Vrel = mi/hr i

A student drives 10 km to the north and then 20 km 30° S of E. By using the component method, what are the magnitude and direction of his displacement from the starting point?
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 12 m/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 16 m/s relative to the air, in what direction should they head in order to move directly south?
A boat crosses a river of width 225 m in whichthe current has a uniform speed of 1.35 m/s.The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e., the direction in which the boat points) perpendicularto the river and a throttle setting to give aconstant speed of 2.92 m/s relative to the water.What is the magnitude of the speed of theboat relative to a stationary shore observer?Answer in units of m/s. How far downstream from the initial positionis the boat when it reaches the opposite shore?Answer in units of m
A plane that is capable of travelling at 140 m/s wishes to travel due north from City A to City B, 500 km away, but encounters a constant crosswind that blows 25 m/s due west. What must the plane’s heading be in order to reach its destination? Suppose the pilot has no navigational expertise and decides to aim straight for City B. How far west of City B will the plane end up?
