This print-out should have 16 questions.
Multiple-choice questions may continue on the next column or page find all choices before answering. 001 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 53.9 km/h wind blowing toward the south. The speed of the aircraft in the absence of a wind is 188 km/h. a) How many degrees from west should the aircraft head? Let clockwise be positive. Answer in units of . 002 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points b) What should the planes speed be relative to the ground? Answer in units of km/h.
the time it reaches the North shore?
Answer in units of m. 008 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points A ferry is crossing a river. The ferry is headed due north with a speed of 2.3 m/s relative to the water and the rivers velocity is 3.4 m/s to the east. a) What is magnitude of the boats velocity relative to Earth? Answer in units of m/s. 009 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points b) Find the direction in which the ferry is moving (measured from due east, with counterclockwise positive). Answer in units of .
003 (part 1 of 3) 10.0 points
You are traveling 85 km/h and you throw a ball 48 km/h with respect to yourself. What is the balls apparent speed to a friend standing by the road when the ball is thrown straight ahead? Answer in units of km/h.
010 (part 1 of 3) 10.0 points
A river flows due east at 2.32 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant velocity of 11.8 m/s due north relative to the water. a) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the boat as viewed by an observer on shore? Answer in units of m/s.
004 (part 2 of 3) 10.0 points
What is the balls apparent speed to the same friend when the ball is thrown sideways? Answer in units of km/h.
011 (part 2 of 3) 10.0 points
b) How many degrees off course is the boat forced by the current? Answer in units of .
005 (part 3 of 3) 10.0 points
What is the balls apparent speed to the same friend when the ball is thrown backwards? Answer in units of km/h.
012 (part 3 of 3) 10.0 points
c) If the river is 290 m wide, how far downstream is the boat when it reaches the north shore? Answer in units of m.
006 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points
A river flows due East at 0.837 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the South shore to the North shore by maintaining a constant velocity of 15.3 m/s due North relative to the water. The river is 365 m wide. What is the velocity of the boat relative to shore? Answer in units of m/s. 007 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points How far downstream has the boat moved by
013 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points
A boat crosses a river of width 244 m in which the current has a uniform speed of 1.99 m/s. The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e., the direction in which the boat points) perpendicular to the river and a throttle setting to give a constant speed of 1.68 m/s relative to the water. What is the magnitude of the speed of the boat relative to a stationary shore observer?

Answer in units of m/s. 014 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points How far downstream from the initial position is the boat when it reaches the opposite shore? Answer in units of m. 015 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points A jet airliner moving initially at 206 mph to the east where there is no wind moves into a region where the wind is blowing at 374 mph in a direction 52 north of east. What is the new speed of the aircraft with respect to the ground? Answer in units of mph. 016 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points What is the direction of the aircraft (use counterclockwise from due East as the positive angular direction, between the limits of 180 and +180 )? Answer in units of .
