Question

A plane is flying with a speed of 163 mph at an angle of 29.4 degrees north of east with respect to the air while the air is moving at 20 mph at an angle of 29.1 degrees south of east with respect to the ground below. How far (in mi) will the plane travel with respect to the ground in 2.55 hours?

Plane Ride You are traveling on an airplane. The velocity of the plane with respect to the air is 170 m/s due east. The velocity of the air with respect to the ground is 46 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees west of due north. 1) What is the speed of the plane with respect to the ground? m/s 2) What is the heading of the plane with respect to the ground? (Let 0° represent due north, 90° represents due east). East of due North 3) How far east will the plane travel in 1 hour?

An airplane pilot wishes to fly to his destination 500 mi due west, but the wind is blowing at 37.5 mi/hr toward 14.7° north of west. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 159.3 mi/hr. At what angle (south of west) must the pilot orient the plane in order to fly to his destination directly? If the pilot orients the plane at that angle, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?

An airplane has an air speed of 185 km/h. The plane is to fly due west. There is a wind with a velocity of 52.4 km/h from due north. In what direction should the plane be pointed? direction = Number degrees (standard position angle to one decimal place) What would the ground speed be? speed relative to ground = Number km/h (to nearest whole number)
