At the entrance channel of a harbor, the tidal current has a velocity of 4.34 km/hr in a direction 24.1o south of east. Suppose a ship caught in this current has a speed of 17.9 km/hr relative to the water. If the helmsman keeps the bow of the ship aimed north, what will be the speed of the ship relative to the ground?

A boy is flying two kites at the same time. One kite is on a 125 foot line and the other is on a 260 foot line. If the angle between the two lines is 400 what is the distance between the kites? and Two boats leave port at the same time. One is travelling 35mi/h in a direction of N 400W and the second is travelling 25mi/h in a direction of S 150 w. How far apart are the boats after 3 hours?
A dock is formed by completely submerging a metal plate and attaching it to an underwater wall. The exposed side of the metal plate faces the ocean and is subjected to the flow of water induced by tides. The plate is 2.5m in height and 20m in width. How much force will the water exert on the metal plate if the current has a velocity of v=3ms at maximum tidal flow?
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…

Water from a fire hose is directed toward a building. The water leaves the hose at a speed of vi = 40.0 m/s and at an angle of Øi = 35.0° above the horizontal. The base of the hose (at ground level) is a horizontal distance d= 51.0 m away from the building. Find the height h (in m) where the water strikes the building.

A hovercraft is sitting on the shore of a river that is 1 mile wide. The hovercraft is supposedto reach a camp that is located 3 miles downstream on the other side of the river. You needto decide the fastest route in each of these two situations:a) The opposite shore is smooth, so that the crafts speed on water will be 2/3 of that onshore.b) The opposite shore is rather rough, so that the crafts speed on land is 2/3 of that on thewater.
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?
