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 .
