- A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?arrow_forwardA high-tech drone flies over Miami, FL in a direction 59° west of north with a speed of 39 km/h.

How far (in kilometers) from Miami, FL is the drone 4.50 h after it passes over the Miami.arrow_forwardA minivan travels straight north in the right lane of a divided highway at 28.0 m/s. A camper passes the minivan and then changes from the left lane into the right lane. As it does so, the camper’s path on the road is a straight displacement at 8.50° east of north. To avoid cutting off the minivan, the north–south distance between the camper’s back bumper and the minivan’sfront bumper should not decrease. (a) Can the camper be driven to satisfy this requirement? (b) Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- An airplane leaves the runway heading south and flies for 2000km. It then heads 20 degree west to avoid a storm. After flying for 500km, it turns 40 degree toward the east and flies another 400km to its final destination. Calculate the displacement of the plane;s destination and the distance it travelled.arrow_forwardsally leaves her home and walks 450. m to the east and then turns and walks 600.0 m to the north. she then sees an ice cream store that is 150. m 20 degrees NW. what is her displacement from the ice cream store to home? don't forget displacement needs magnitude and direction (angle).arrow_forwardYou walk 37 m to the north, then turn 61° to your right and walk another 45 m.

One goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 30 km/h wind is blowing from west to east. At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground? How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 450 km from north to south? (Note: Even on cloudy nights, many birds can navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction.)arrow_forward
