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)

Step 1
The airplane's airspeed is 185 km/h, and it wants to fly due west. So, its desired velocity vector is $\boldsymbol{v}_a = 185\boldsymbol{i}$. Show more…

A plane flies at an airspeed of 244 km/h. A wind is blowing at 65 km/h toward the direction 60° east of north. In what direction should the plane head in order to fly due north relative to the ground? west of north What is the speed of the plane relative to the ground? km/h

56. An airplane needs to fly due East at a speed of 270 km/h as measured from the ground. The wind is blowing due Southwest at a speed of 44 km/h. What airspeed does the airplane need to take, at what directional angle?

An airplane has an airspeed of 440 km/h bearing 49° north of east. The wind velocity is 60 km/h in the direction 31° north of west. Find the result: What is the actual ground speed of the aircraft? (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
