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...

03.3 You fly an airplane to a city that is 800 miles to the west and 300 miles to the north of your starting point. The wind is blowing from east to west. Your plane has an air speed of 200 mph and the trip takes 3.55 hours. a) In what direction did you aim the plane? b) What is the speed of the wind?

An airplane with a ground speed of 550 km/hr travels along a heading of 30 degrees N of W. At that high altitude there is a powerful 210 km/hr wind (known as the jet stream) 40 degrees south of west. Determine the direction that the pilot is aiming the plane. The answer key says that the pilot must point 52.4 degrees NofW.

An airplane heads due west at a speed 150 km/h relative to the wind. If the wind is moving at 30 km/h toward the north, what is the speed of the airplane relative to the ground? A jet airliner moving initially at 300 mi/h due east enters a region where the wind is blowing at 100 mi/h in a direction 30◦ north of east. What is the speed of the aircraft relative to the ground? A certain river is 0.5...

Canadian geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. One such bird is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air, but there is a 30.0 km/h wind blowing from west to east. PART A : At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head so that it will be traveling directly southward relative to the ground? PART B: How long...

A plane is maintaining a 90◦ heading at 40◦ N latitude, with an air speed of 580 miles per hour. the cruise control is engaged, using a pressure altimeter while over the Ocean. The altimeter is set for a sea level pressure 1013 hPa and keeps an indicated altitude of 37,500 feet. At the start of a 1 hour period the radar altimeter, which provides the actual distance above the surface, shows 36,750 feet. At the end of the 1...
