Question

Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. The one goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 50 km/h wind is blowing from west to east.Part A
At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground?Part B
How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 km from north to south?

    Answer:

    θ = 30°   ( West of south )

    t = 6.35 hrs

    Explanation:

    Given:

    – The velocity of goose relative to air v_B/A = 100 km/h

    – The velocity of wind v_w = 50 km/h

    – The angle relative to ground θ

    – Distance traveled from North-South d = 550 km

    Find:

    Part A

    At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground?

    Part B  

    How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 km from north to south?

    Solution:

    – We want the bird to fly with speed v_B/A = 100 km/h with an angle θ relative to ground so that the bird fly due south relative to ground. (See Attachment)

    – From the figure we got by using trigonometric ratios:

                                  sin(θ) = v_w / v_B/A

                                  sin(θ) = 50/100

                                  θ = 30°   ( West of south )

    – The bird will have only north-south velocity relative to the earth v_B/G:

                                  v_B/G = v_B/A*cos(θ)

                                  v_B/G = 100*cos(30)

                                  v_B/G = 86.603 km/h

    – Applying distance time relationship we have:

                                  t = d / v_B/G

                                  t = 550 / 86.603

                                  t = 6.35 hrs

    Answer:

    a. The angle at which the goose must be travelling relative to the north-south direction is 210°

    b. 6.35 h

    Explanation:

    Part A

    At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground

    Adding vectorially v₁ = v₂ + v₃ where v₁ = velocity of goose relative to ground, v₂ = velocity of wind relative to ground and v₃ = velocity of goose relative to air.

    So  v₁ = √(100² – 50²) = √(10000 – 2500) = √7500 =  86.6 km/h

    The angle between the relative velocity of goose to wind and goose to ground is cosθ = velocity of goose to ground/velocity of goose relative to wind = 86.6km/h/100km/h = 0.8660

    θ = cos⁻¹0.8660 = 30°

    So, the angle at which the goose must be travelling relative to the north-south direction is 180° + 30° = 210°

    Part B

    How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 km from north to south?

    Since the velocity of goose relative to ground = 86.6 km/h,

    Since time = distance/speed = 550 km/86.6 km/h = 6.35 h
