    An SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, the world's fastest aircraft, is flying east at 3000 km/h. a. If the plane encounters a crosswind of 300 km/h that is directed to the north, what is the magnitude and direction with resultant velocity? b. If the border lies along a straught north/south line, will it take the plane, more, less, or the same amount of time to reach the eastern border if there were no crosswind?
  • The Nardo ring is a circular test track for cars. It has a circumference of 12.5 km. Cars travel around the track at a constant speed of 100 km/h. A car starts at the easternmost point of the ring and drives for 15 minutes at this speed.a. What distance, in km, does the car travel?b. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement, in km, from its initial position?c. What is the speed of the car in m/s?
    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. The second cyclist starts out by heading due north for 1890 m and then turns and heads directly toward the campground. (a) At the turning point, how far is the second cyclist from the campground? (b) In what direction (measured relative to due east within the range (-180˚, 180˚]) must the second cyclist head during the last part of the trip?
    Hi I am in physics 1 and I need help with this problem. It saids a boy runs in an open field. He runs 233m due north in 77 seconds, turns 90 degrees to his left and runs 178m  in 93 seconds. Sketch a map of his motion and find the following quantities of his motion during this period from starting time to final time a) Map of his motion b) The total distance he runs (233m + 178m= 411m) c) The displacement from starting position to final position. What I have thus far is I got c=sqrt (233)^2+(178)^2=293m. Would I subtract this number from the total distance?   Please includes detailed steps of how to solve this
