A plane takes off from an airport and flies to town A, located d1 = 285 km from the airport in the direction 20.0° north of east. The plane then flies to town B, located d2 = 220 km at 30.0° west of north from town A. Use graphical methods to determine the distance and direction from town B to the airport. (Enter the distance in km and the direction in degrees south of west.) distance direction

A high altitude jet airplane has a velocity relative to the air of 320 m/s due west. At a certain moment, the pilot notices a mountain peak directly west of the plane at a horizontal distance of 4.20 km. 10 s later, the peak is observed to be a horizontal distance 4.18 km away in a direction 17?north of west. (a) Set up a coordinate system and given the components of the displacement vectors between the airplane and the mountain...

An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 688 km/h If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90 km/h (average), calculate: (a) the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the plane relative to the ground, and (b) how far from its intended position will it be after 11.0 min if the pilot takes no corrective action. [Hint: First draw a diagram.] (a) VP,G = 628 km/h (b) Dx = 16.5 km  these are the answers...

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...

A little confused on these Motion problems: An airplane with a speed of 95.3 m/s is climbing upward at an angle of 38.1 ° with respect to the horizontal. When the plane's altitude is 542 m, the pilot releases a package. (a) Calculate the distance along the ground, measured from a point directly beneath the point of release, to where the package hits the earth. (b) Relative to the ground, determine the angle of the velocity vector of the package...
