A pilot must fly his plane due north to reach his destination. The plane can fly at 300 km/h in still air. A wind is blowing out of the northeast at 90 km/h.

(a) What is the speed of the plane relative to the ground?

(b) In what direction must the pilot head his plane to fly due north?

A jet is flying due north relative to the ground. The speed of the jet relative to the ground is 155 m/s. The wind at the jet’s altitude is 40.0 m/s toward the northeast (45.0∘∘ north of east). Suppose that the +x-axis is directed eastward and the +y-axis is directed northward. Find the speed of the jet relative to the air (its airspeed). Find the direction in which the pilot of the jet must point the plane so that it...
