Upon reaching a speed of 215 km/h on the runway, a jet raises its nose to an angle of 18° with the horizontal and begins to lift off the ground. a) Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity at this moment. b) What is the physical interpretation of each of these components of the jet's velocity?

A model airplane is flying horizontally due north at 20 mph when it encounters a horizontal crosswind blowing east at 20 mph and a downdraft blowing vertically downward at 10 mph. a. Find the position vector that represents the velocity of the plane relative to the ground. b. Find the speed of the plane relative to the ground.

A plane, diving with constant speed at an angle of $53.0^{\circ}$ with the vertical, releases a projectile at an altitude of $730 \mathrm{~m}$. The projectile hits the ground $5.00 \mathrm{~s}$ after release. (a) What is the speed of the plane? (b) How far does the projectile travel horizontally during its flight? What are the (c) horizontal and (d) vertical components of its velocity just before striking the ground?
