A pilot wishes to fly from Bayfield to Kitchener, a distance of 100 km on a bearing of 100°. The speed of the plane in still air is 250 km/h. A 25 km/h wind is blowing on a bearing of 215°. A villain turns on a magnet that exerts a force equivalent to 5 km/h on a bearing of 210° on the airplane in the sky. Find how long the trip will take.

A railroad car which has a mass 9216 kg is constrained to move along a horizontal track under the action of a wind blowing in the direction of the track. The frictional resistance to the car motion is 1/200 of its weight. The force exerted by wind is P=kSu2, where S is the area of the backside of the railroad car, equals to 6 m2, and u is the velocity of the wind relative to car, k=0.12. The absolute velocity of the wind is w=12 m/s. The initial velocity of the railroad car is 0. Determine:a) the maximum velocity vmax of the railroad car;b) the time T taken to reach this velocity;c) the distance x, travelled by the railroad car before reaching a velocity of 3 m/s
A force in the +x+x-direction with magnitude F(x)=18.0N−(0.530N/m)xF(x)=18.0N−(0.530N/m)x is applied to a 7.10 kgkg box that is sitting on the horizontal, frictionless surface of a frozen lake. F(x)F(x) is the only horizontal force on the box. 1. If the box is initially at rest at x=0x=0, what is its speed after it has traveled 14.0 mm ? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
An F-106 is flying from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Charleston, South Carolina, a distance of 1400 n miles. The pilot reads an indicated airspeed of 300 kn at a pressure altitude of 50,000 ft MSL. If position error is negligible, what is the aircraft's true airspeed? If it is flying in a 50-kn tailwind, what is the plane's ground speed, and how long will the 1400-n mile flight take?

After spending an entire year together in an apartment, Grover and Elmo have decided to have some extended time apart in different parts of the state. When they get to the airport, they find out that there is a 65.000 km/hr wind that points 55.000 degrees E of S. Grover's plane flies for 75.000 minutes before arriving at his vacation destination, which is 60.000 km W and 150.000 km S of the airport. (a) Find the magnitude and direction of Grover's plane's velocity with respect to Earth in km/h.(b) Find the direction and magnitude of the velocity of Grover's plane with respect to the wind in km/h.(c) Draw a picture showing how the vectors add together graphically for Grover's plane during his trip. Clearly label each vector with its variable name as well as its magnitude and direction. (Hint: Make your picture large enough so that those labels are clearly visible.)(d) The plane that Elmo flew in has an airspeed of 45.000 km/hr. In what direction must the plane point so that it can…
