A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 5 mi and a speed of 470 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 7 mi away from the station. For full credit I expect to see a well-labeled picture. Show all work. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round intermediate values. Include units of measure in your answer.

An eagle is flying horizontally at the altitude of 400 ft with a velocity of 16 ft/s when it drops a dead prey. A frog jumps 2 seconds later at a site facing away from the eagle and 60 ft from the point beneath the original position of the bird. If the frog catches the falling prey at the height of 144 ft, determine the initial speed and angle of inclination of the frog. Please use an advanced math way...

A rescue plane flies horizontally at a constant speed searching for a disabled boat. When the plane is directly above the boat, the boat's crew blows a loud horn. By the time the plane's sound detector receives the horn's sound, the plane has traveled a distance equal to one-third its altitude above the ocean. Assuming it takes the sound 2.02 s to reach the plane, and taking the speed of sound to be 343 m/s, determine the following. (a) the...

You drop a package from a plane flying at constant speed in a straight line. Without air resistance, the package will. (Hint: think about the velocity along the x direction, think about what type of motion you have along x direction). A) quickly lag behind the plane while falling. B) remain vertically under the plane while falling. C) move ahead of the plane while falling. D) not fall at all.

The speed of a plane in the absence of wind is 500 km/hr. In the presence of a wind, in order to fly due north at a speed of 450 km/hr with respect to the ground, the pilot must point the plane in a direction 35o east of due north. Which of the following vectors (in unit vector notation) describes the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground?
