A skater glides along a circular path of radius 5.00 m in clockwise direction. ‘When he coasts around one- half of the circle, starting from the west point, find (a) the magnitude of his displacement vector and (b) how far he actually skated. (c) What is the magnitude of his displacement vector when he skates all the way around the circle and comes back to the west point?
Use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve the problem. A plane is flying with an airspeed of 140 miles per hour and heading 150°. The wind currents are running at 25 miles per hour at 165° clockwise from due north. Use vectors to find the true course and ground speed of the plane. (Round your answers to the nearest ten for the speed and to the nearest whole number for the angle.) mi/hr with heading

A helicopter starts from an airport and takes the route described. The plane first flies to city A, located 175km away in a direction 30.0o north of east. Next, it flies for 150km 20.0o west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the distance of city C relative to starting point. (Write your final answer in 3 significant figures, include the unit in your final answer)
A plane leaves Denver and travels 239 miles bearing N77 degrees W, then makes a course correction and travels N33 degrees W for 95 miles. How many miles north of Denver did they travel (round to two decimal places)?
A Red Cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 115 km in the direction 195° from North.It drops off some relief supplies, then flies 135 km at 350° from North to pick up three medics.If the helicoper then heads directly back to headquarters, find the distance and direction (rounded to one decimal place) it should fly. The direction should be in degrees from north.
You found a treasure map and it said: Start at the well, go 100 m, straight south, then 30 m, 40° north of west, then 25 m, straight east, 10 m, south, 20 m, west, and finally 10 m, 75° south of east. Using the polygon and component methods of vector addition, how far from the well and in what direction is the hidden treasure. What is your total distance traveled in kilometers? Use the scale: 2 cm= 1 m
Solve the following problem using analytical techniques: suppose you walk 15.0 m straight west and then 26.5 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position ? Give the direction in degrees north of west. (Magnitude and direction )
A drone is initially flying on a heading 40° south of west at a speed of 276 knots. (A knot is about 1.15 miles per hour.) A wind begins to blow due west at a speed of 50 knots. Find the resultant speed and direction of the drone. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer for the speed to one decimal place. Give your answer for the direction of the drone to the nearest degree. Include the degree symbol in your answer where needed.) resultant speed: resultant direction: knots south of west
Start by copying the navigational bearing axes onto your paper: W N E (a) Next, draw vector V representing a ship traveling 383 miles on a bearing of N 55° W. (b) Find exactly how far north the ship traveled. (c) Find exactly how far west the ship traveled. (d) Next, use a scientific calculator to write approximations for (b) and (c). (e) Then write your approximations with correct number of significant digits.
I need help on this problem: You are one block away from a skyscraper that is 780 feet tall. Your friend is between the skyscraper and yourself. The angle of elevation from your position to the top of the skyscraper is 42 degrees. The angle of elevation from your friend's position to the top of the skyscraper is 71 degrees. How far are you from your friend? Express your answer using the correct number of significant figures.
An airplane flies 200 km due west from city A to city B and then 340 km in the direction of 31.0° north of west from city B to city C. (a) In straight-line distance, how far is city C from city A? x Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. km (b) Relative to city A, in what direction is city C? x Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error.° north of west
