The pilot of an aircraft flies due north relative to the ground in a wind blowing at 40 km/h toward the east. If his speed relative to the ground is 80 km/h, what is the velocity of his airplane relative to the air? (Considering i^ = East and j^ = North) A) -40i^ + 80j^ (km/h) B) -40i^ - 80j^ (km/h) C) 40i^ + 80j^ (km/h) D) 40i^ - 80j^ (km/h) E) 40i^ + 40j^ (km/h)

13. An airplane has a speed in still air of 300 km/hr, and sets out on a course that is 30° north of east (see below). The wind velocity with respect to the ground is 60 km/hr from the east. What is the airplane's velocity with respect to the ground? N 30 degrees north of east W E S A) 360 km/hr, 31° north of east B) 240 km/hr, 45° north of east C) 250 km/hr, 37° north of east D) 270 km/hr, 33° north of east E) 220 km/hr, 40° north of east
