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...
