A plane is capable of flying at a speed of 180 km/h in still air. The pilot takes off from an airfield and heads due north according to the planes compass. After 30 mins of flight time, the pilot notices that, due to the wind the plane has actually traveled 80km at an angle of 5 degrees east of north. What is the wind's velocity vector? Make a diagram, show step by step clearly and the reasoning of each step.

A light plane attains an airspeed of 500 km/h. The pilot sets out for a destination 780 km due north but discovers that the plane must be headed 19.0° east of due north to fly there directly. The plane arrives in 2.00 h. What were the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the wind velocity? Give the direction as an angle relative to due west, where north of west is a positive angle, and south of west is a negative...

A navigator on a plane knows that the plane's velocity through the air is 250 km/h on a bearing of 237˚ measured clockwise from north. By observing the motion of the plane's shadow across the ground, she finds to her surprise that the plane's ground speed is only 52 km/h, and its direction is along a bearing of 15˚. She realizes that ground velocity is the vector sum of the plane's air velocity and the wind's velocity. What wind velocity...

4. A pilot flying from Honolulu to California flies at an airspeed of 300.0 m/s (“airspeed” = airplane’s speed through the surrounding air) with her airplane pointed 70.0˚ to the east of north. However, the air itself is moving with a 50.0-m/s windspeed blowing due east. When the pilot adds together the two vectors of her airspeed and the windspeed, she gets her groundspeed: the airplane’s actual velocity relative to the ground below. (Even though these are called “speeds” by...
