An aircraft wishes to travel due east, and must compensate for a 45.0 m/s wind in the northerly direction. If the airspeed of the plane is 120 m/s , what will be the (Eastward) groundspeed in the scenario?

If the pilot wishes to travel due east , how must the aircraft be directed?

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...

At one instant a bicyclist is 45.0 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 14.0 m/s. Then 32.0 s later, the cyclist is 45.0 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 14.0 m/s. For the cyclist in this 32.0 s interval, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the displacement, the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the average velocity, and the (e) magnitude and...

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 that flies with velocity 158 m/s in still air heads due East and encounters a cross wind of 46 m/s South. A course correction is made for the wind so the plane continues due East with speed _________m/s.

A 379-kg boat is sailing 11.0° north of east at a speed of 1.80 m/s. 35.0 s later, it is sailing 38.0° north of east at a speed of 4.30 m/s. During this time, three forces act on the boat: a 32.1-N force directed 11.0° north of east (due to an auxiliary engine), a 21.8-N force directed 11.0° south of west (resistance due to the water), and (due to the wind). Find the (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of...

During this time, three forces act on the boat: a 31.9-N force directed 12.0° north of east (due to an auxiliary engine), a 20.8-N force directed 12.0° south of west (resistance due to the water), and (due to the wind).

During this time, three forces act on the boat: a 30.5-N force directed 17.0° north of east (due to an auxiliary engine), a 23.8-N force directed 17.0° south of west (resistance due to the water), and (due to the wind). Find the (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of...

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...
