(a) A jet airplane flying from Darwin, Australia, has an air speed of 260 m/s in a direction 5.0° south of west. It is in the jet stream, which is blowing at 35.0 m/s in a direction 15° south of east. What is the velocity of the airplane relative to the Earth? (b) Discuss whether your answers are consistent with your expectations for the effect of the wind on the plane's path.
A race car travels 825 km around a circular sprint track of radius 1.313 km. How many times did it go around the track?
A train leaving Albuquerque travels 293 miles, due east, to Amarillo. The train spends a couple of days at the station in Amarillo and then heads back west 107 miles where it stops in Tucumcari. Suppose the positive x direction points to the east and Albuquerque is at the origin of this axis. a. What is the total distance traveled by the train from Albuquerque to Tucumcari? b. What is the displacement of the train for the entire journey? Give both answers in appropriate SI units.
Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs downfield at 45 with respect to the 50-yard line and covers 8.0 m in 1 s. He then fins straight down the field at 90 with respect to the 50-yard line for 12 m, with an elapsed time of 1.2 s. (a) What is Matthews’ final displacement from the start of the play? (b) What is his average velocity?
A fastball pitcher can throw a baseball at a speed of 40 m/s (90 mi/b). (a) Assuming the pitcher can release the ball 16.7 m from home plate so the ball is moving horizontally, how long does it take the ball to reach bone plate? (b) How far does the ball drop between the pitcher’s hand and home plate?
Two birds begin next to each other and then fly through the air at the same elevation above level ground at 22.5 m/s. One flies northeast, and the other flies northwest. After flying for 10.5 s, what is the distance between them? Ignore the curvature of the Earth.
A glider aircraft initially traveling due west at 85.0 km/h encounters a sudden gust of wind at 35.0 km/h directed toward the northeast (Fig. P3.62). What are the speed and direction of the glider relative to the ground during the wind gust? (The velocity of the glider with respect to the ground is the velocity of the gilder with respect to the wind plus the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground.)
