A commuter airplane starts from ar. airport and takes the route shown in Figure P3.19. 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 starling point. Figure P3.19
What is the direction of the acceleration vector of a person on the spinning Earth if the person is (a) at the equator? (b) at some other latitude? (c) at the poles?
Give an example of a trajectory in two or three dimensions caused by independent perpendicular motions.
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 straight south and then straight west to arrive at the same point. (This determination is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the south and west directions.) (b) Find the distances you would have to fly first in a direction 45.0° south of west and then in a direction 45.0° west of north. These are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes—one rotated 450°.
An airplane flies 200 km due west from city A to city B and then 300 km in the direction of 30.0° north of west from city B to city C. (a) In straight-line distance, how far is city C from city A? km. (b) Relative to city A, in what direction is city C? ° north of west The best leaper in the animal kingdom is the puma, which can jump to a height of 13.1 ft when leaving the ground at an angle of 40°. With what speed, in SI units, must the animal leave the ground to reach that height? m/s
A passenger walks from one side of a ferry to the other as it approaches a dock. If the passenger's velocity is 1.5 m/s due north relative to the ferry, and 4.5 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees west of north relative to the water, what are the magnitude and direction of the ferry's velocity relative to the water?
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?
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 golfer takes three strokes to putt a golf ball into a hole. On the first stroke, the ball moves 5.9 m due east. On the second, it moves 1.8 m at an angle 20° north of east. On the third, it moves 0.50 m due north. If the golfer had instead hit the ball directly into the hole on the first stroke, what would have been the magnitude and direction of the ball's displacement? Give the direction as a positive angle measured counterclockwise from due east. magnitude m direction °
An airplane pilot wishes to fly to his destination 500 mi due west, but the wind is blowing at 28.7 mi/hr toward 25.7° north of west. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 169.1 mi/hr. At what angle (south of west) must the pilot orient the plane in order to fly to his destination directly? If the pilot orients the plane at that angle, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?
An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 172 ft, then climbs 147 ft at an angle of 32.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 147 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) Sig figs Considered.
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?
