The flight paths of two planes are shown in the figure below. After how long does it take t (hours) for the two planes to be closest to each other, and what is the distance S (thousands of miles)? (If it is known that the only solution obtained from the first derivative will minimize the distance, it is not necessary to use the second derivative to verify.) The two planes were initially separated by 1,000 miles

A trapper walks a 5.0-lan straight-line distance from her cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Determine the east and north components of her displacement vector. How many more kilometers would she have to walk if she walked along the component displacements? What is her displacement vector?
A surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks 100 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is 35 . How wide is the river?

A hiker walks 53.1 degrees north of east for 2.5k m then due east for 2.0k m. What is her total dis place ment frm her starting point if you measure the distance along a straight line? The displace ment is measured in distance and angle so we will compute both.
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks 100m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree the angle from his baseline to the tree is 35o. How wide is the river?(in meters)
bn nas set his GPS to track his route. At the end of his hike, his GPS indicates that he walked 3.50 miles north, 1.00 miles at 45 degrees north of east, and 1.50 miles south. How far away is Bill from his starting position? And in what direction is he? Provide the direction in number of degrees in reference to the cardinal directions (North of East, South of West, etc.).
using analytical techniques andchange the second leg of the walk to 25.0 m straight south.(This is equivalent to subtracting B from A —that is, findingR′ = A – B ) (b) Repeat again, but now you first walk25.0 m north and then 18.0 m east. (This is equivalent tosubtract A from B —that is, to find A = B + C . Is thatconsistent with your result?)
Using the absolute values of West and South to be negative and North and East to be positive calculate the following: Blair went on a run in the neighborhood running 8 meters West, then 6 meters South, 16 meters to the East and 12 meters to the North. Now Blair is a bit out of sorts because he doesn't know where he is; Help him He wanted to run 56 meters and wanted to return to his starting point where his car is. Give him a direct path to his starting point and his distance left on the run. Distance left Coordinates and direction to get to his car.
Keiko drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. When Keiko drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. If her average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does Keiko live from the mountains? Do not do any rounding.
