(7) A small ship capable of making a speed of 6 knots through water maintains a heading due east while being set to the south by an ocean current. If the ship travels from A to B, a distance of 10 nautical miles in two hours, determine the speed of the current vc and its direction measured from the east. N(0°) 10 Ans: vc = 1.383 knots, β= 141.1. CW
*Chapter 2, Practice Problem 2/085 The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 84 mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current of speed vc = 16 mi/hr but does not change its heading (relative to the water). Determine the subsequent velocity of the boat relative to the wind and express your result as a magnitude Vrel and compass direction measured clockwise from north. The current affects the motion of the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed vw = 24...
Chapter 2, Practice Problem 2/085 x Incorrect The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 80 mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current of speed ve = 17 mi/hr but does not change its heading (relative to the water). Determine the subsequent velocity of the boat relative to the wind and express your result as a magnitude vrel and compass direction & measured clockwise from north. The current affects the motion of the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed...
Chapter 2, Practice Problem 2/090 Your answer is partially correct. Try again. Airplane A is flying north with a horizontal velocity of 514 km/h and is accelerating in its northward direction at the rate of 2.1 km/h each second. Airplane B is flying southwest at the same altitude with a velocity of 515 km/h which is decreasing at the rate of 2.3 km/h each second. Determine the acceleration B/A which B appears to have to an observer in A and...
