A 373-kg boat is sailing 12.0° north of east at a speed of 2.00 m/s. 31.0 s later, it is sailing 39.0° north of east at a speed of 4.00 m/s. During this time, three forces act on the boat: a 31.9-N force directed 12.0° north of east (due to an auxiliary engine), a 20.8-N force directed 12.0° south of west (resistance due to the water), and (due to the wind). Find the (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of...

A jet is flying due north relative to the ground. The speed of the jet relative to the ground is 155 m/s. The wind at the jet’s altitude is 40.0 m/s toward the northeast (45.0∘∘ north of east). Suppose that the +x-axis is directed eastward and the +y-axis is directed northward. Find the speed of the jet relative to the air (its airspeed). Find the direction in which the pilot of the jet must point the plane so that it...

Two boats are heading away from shore. Boat 1 heads due north at a speed of 2.98 m/s relative to the shore. Relative to Boat 1, Boat 2 is moving 29.0° north of east at a speed of 1.51 m/s. A passenger on Boat 2 walks due east across the deck at a speed of 1.17 m/s relative to Boat 2. What is the speed of the passenger relative to the shore?
