1. An airplane flies with an airspeed (speed relative to the air) of 215 km/h. The wind is blowing at 45.0 km/h. Find the velocity of the plane (relative to the ground) if the plane is pointed straight west and the wind is:
- blowing toward the west (3 points)
- blowing toward the east (3 points)
- blowing toward the south (4 points) Photo by MilborneOne / CC-BY-SA 3.0 (For part C be sure to calculate the angle as well.)
2. If you wanted the plane in #1 to fly straight west and the wind was from the south, calculate the heading of the plane (the direction/angle the plane is pointed) and its groundspeed. Hint: The 215 km/h will be the hypotenuse. (10 points)

A. Find the distance she walked. (5points)
B. Find her displacement. (5 points)
4. A motorboat can travel at 5.0 m/s relative to the water. The motorboat is crossing a river. The river is flowing east at 3.0 m/s and the boat is pointed north. (10 points)

A. Calculate the resultant velocity of the boat. Remember to also give the angle. (5 points)
B. If the river is 100. m wide, how far downstream will the boat travel? (5 points)
5. A 220 kg sailboat has a force of 65 N applied to it in the southerly direction by the water and a 140 N force applied to the sail in a westerly direction. Find the acceleration of the sailboat. Accelerations are vectors, so include the direction (angle) of the acceleration. (10 points)
