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.

Instruments in airplane A indicate that, with respect to the air, the plane is headed 30° north of east with an air speed of 460.00 mi/h. At the same time, radar on ship B indicates that the relative velocity of the plane with respect to the ship is 360.00 mi/h in the direction 33° north of east. Given, the ship is steaming due south at 12 mi/h. Determine the velocity of the airplane. (Round the final answer to two decimal...
