A
pilot flies a plane 1450km in a direction 33 degrees N of W. How
far did she travel:
(a) In the north direction?
(b) In the west direction?
Homework Answers
Answer #1
Plane direction 33 degree N of W and this graph figure below
From graph:
a) north direction AC= BD
from triangle ABD angle =33 degree
base = AD
height = BD
Hypotenuse = AB
we know
AC=BD=789.73 km
the north distance travel is =789.73 km
b) find west direction AD
AD= 1216.07 Km
The west distance travel is =1216.07 km

A pilot must fly a plane due north (90 degrees) to reach a
destination. The plane can fly at 323 km/h in still air. A wind is
blowing out of the northeast (225 degrees) at 40 km/h. What is the
speed of the plane relative to the ground? The pilot must point the
plane to the east of north in order to compensate for the wind
speed.

A plane is traveling at a speed of 300m/s at 53 degrees North of
West. A strong wind blows out of the West at a speed of 50m/s and
causes the plane to drift. What is the drift speed of the plane in
the presence of the wind and what direction will it travel?
