A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) If it takes the bird 18.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative to the earth, what is the velocity (in m/s) of the wind? m/s (b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long (in s) will he take to return 6.00 km? s (c) Discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.

A runner is jogging in a straight line at a steady vr= 7.3 km/hr. When the runner is L= 2.1 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying straight from the runner to the finish line at vb= 29.2 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). When the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies directly back to the runner. Part 1. What cumulative distance does the bird travel? Even though the bird is a...

The wind over the ocean blows straight North with a speed of 10.0 m/s. A sailboat sails straight North with a steady speed of 6.00 m/s, and its sail is perpendicular to the direction of the wind. Suppose the boat deploys a second sail of the same area and drag coefficient perpendicular to the wind above the first sail. What is the new steady speed ? of the boat? Assume quadratic drag for both wind blowing into sails and body...

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.48 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.91 km with an average velocity of 2.63 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.438 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.38 m/s, due west. This average velocity results because she hikes for 6.44 km with an average velocity of 2.60 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.460 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
