You are spending the summer as an assistant learning how to navigate on a large ship carrying freight across Lake Erie. One day, you and your ship are to travel across the lake a distance of 200 km traveling due north from your origin port to your destination port. Just as you leave your origin port,

A ferry transports tourists between three islands. It sails from the first island to the second island, 4.76 km away, in a direction \(37.0^{\circ}\) north of east. It then sails from the second island to the third island in a direction \(69.0^{\circ}\) west of north. Finally it returns to the first

Review. The biggest stuffed animal in the world is a snake 420 m long, constructed by Norwegian children. Suppose the snake is laid out in a park as shown in Figure P3.39, forming two straight sides of a \(105^{\circ}\) angle, with one side 240 m long. Olaf and Inge run a race they invent. Inge runs

You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land. Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen

Review. The instantaneous position of an object is specified by its position vector leading from a fixed origin to the location of the object, modeled as a particle. Suppose for a certain object the position vector is a function of time given by \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{r}}\) = \(4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+
