A helicopter pilot at an airport is told to fly a distance, d at a speed v directly east to pick up a stranded hiker. However, he sees no hiker when he arrives. Radioing the control tower, he learns that the hiker is actually a distance, d west of the airport. The pilot turns around and heads straight for the hiker at a speed that is 50% faster than his speed during the initial segment of his wrong way trip
a. Assume the x-axis points east and has its origin at the airport. Draw a diagram representing the motion during the trip, indicating the position of the airport, the turning point, and the rendezvous location. Label the east and westward segments with appropriate symbols and indicate how those symbols are related to the given information, d and v.
b. What is the average speed of the helicopter during the trip from takeoff to rendezvous with the hiker?
c. What is the x-component of the helicopter’s average velocity for the trip from takeoff to rendezvous with the hiker?
d. What is the average velocity of the helicopter in vector notation?

A young boy called Nick is stranded at the airport with his father, Tom, because of bad weather. To pass the time, they decide to have a race. The race is an out-and-back race, starting and ending at the same place. Tom runs at constant speed a distance L, and then turns around and comes back. Nick, because he is so young, gets an advantage: while running away from the start line, he...
