Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. The one goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 50 km/h wind is blowing from west to east.
1) At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground?
2) How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 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.)
On a day when the wind is blowing toward the north at 7 m/s, a runner jogs west at 7 m/s. What is the velocity (speed and direction) of the air relative to the runner?

She tries to fly to Airport Y, which is at a distance of 350 km at north-west (i.e. N 45° W) of Airport X. Without noticing the wind, she heads the plane in that direction. After flying for 1.0 h, the pilot finds that she is 30 km off course to the west of where she expected to be after an hour assuming there was no wind. (a) What is the velocity and direction of the wind? (b) In what direction should the pilot have headed the plane to fly directly along a straight path from Airport X to Airport Y without being blown off course? In other words, find the value of the west-of-north angle that the pilot has to head the plane. [Hint: You may need to use Law of Sines] (c) If the pilot were to fly directly along a straight path from Airport X to Airport Y, how much time would the whole trip take?

After takeoff you lose sight of the drone and, a few seconds later, the controls malfunction and the drone stops sending visual images and navigational information except for speed and directional data. Changing speeds erratically, the drone heads west until it makes a drastic turn at the 5-minute mark to ß-35° east of south. After nearly ten minutes, the speed drops to zero and the drone stops sending data. It has crashed. Using the speed/directional data, the team draws up the graph shown below. (a) How far is the drone from you? (b) In what direction must you go to retrieve it?
