Using Java. The distance a vehicle travels can be calculated as follows: Distance = Speed * Time For example, if a train travels 40 miles-per-hour for three hours, the distance traveled is 120 miles. Write a program that asks for the speed of a vehicle (in miles-per-hour) and the number of hours it has traveled. Both values are assumed to be integers. It should use a loop to display the distance a vehicle has traveled for each hour of a...

An airplane with a ground speed of 550 km/hr travels along a heading of 30 degrees N of W. At that high altitude there is a powerful 210 km/hr wind (known as the jet stream) 40 degrees south of west. Determine the direction that the pilot is aiming the plane. The answer key says that the pilot must point 52.4 degrees NofW.

You have a small boat which travels through water at a speed of 6.0 m/s. You take it out on a section of a local river where the water flows from north to south at a speed of 4.0 m/s. (a) First, you head south (i.e. downstream) in your boat. Draw a vector which represents the velocity of the boat relative to the water, and a vector that represents the velocity of the water relative to the shore. Then add...
