The pilot of a light plane heads due North at an airspeed of 240 km/h. A wind is blowing 90 km/h at an angle of 30 degrees E of N relative to the ground. A) What is the plane’s velocity with respect to the ground (give both magnitude and direction) if the pilot does not correct her course? B) In order to fly north (relative to the ground) , the pilot must fly into the wind at some angle. If...
The pilot of an airplane notes that the compass indicates a heading due west. The airplane's speed relative to the air is 200 km/h. If there is a wind of 26.0 km/h toward the north, find the velocity of the airplane relative to the ground. Magnitude ??? km/h Direction ??? ° north of west
The pilot of an airplane notes that the compass indicates a heading due west. The airplane's speed relative to the air is 170 km/h. The air is moving in a wind at 26.0 km/h toward the north. Find the velocity of the airplane relative to the ground. Magnitude km/h Direction ° north of west
The pilot of an airplane notes that the compass indicates a heading due west. The airplane's speed relative to the air is 110 km/h. The air is moving in a wind at 29.0 km/h toward the north. Find the velocity of the airplane relative to the ground. Magnitude _______ km/h Direction ______
A plane has an airspeed of 400 mph . The pilot wishes to reach a destination 900 mi due east, but a wind is blowing at 60 mph in the direction 40 ∘ north of east. In what direction must the pilot head the plane in order to reach her destination? How long will the trip take?
2 Main Question A plane has an airspeed of 200 mph. The pilot, Rodrigo, wishes to fly directily east to a destination 600 miles away, but a wind is blowing at 50 mph at an angle of 30° north of east. a) Draw a sketch of all three relative velocities on the axes to the right, showing how one is the vec- tor sum of the other two. b) What direction should Rodrigo fly the plane? c) How long will...
An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 72.0 km/hkm/h is blowing toward the south. Part A If the airspeed of the plane (its speed in still air) is 335.0 km/hkm/h, in which direction should the pilot head? Express your answer in degrees. Part B What is the speed of the plane over the ground? Express your answer in kilometers per hour.
Suppose that the wind is blowing at a speed of 30 mph toward the southeast. A pilot wishes to know the airspeed and the direction in which he should fly in order to end up heading due east with ground speed of 400 mph Determine the necessary airspeed and direction for the pilot.
A pilot points his plane due north and flies at a speed with respect to air given by vpa=475 km/hr. A wind is blowing at vag=58 km/hr with respect to the ground at an angle of 50º south of east. What is the speed of the plane with respect to the ground? A pilot points his plane due north and flies at a speed with respect to air given by Vpa=475 km/hr. A wind is blowing at Vag=58 km/hr with...
An airplane pilot sets a compass course due west and maintains an airspeed of 215 km/h . After flying for a time of 0.480 h , she finds herself over a town a distance 124 km west and a distance 11.0 km south of her starting point. 1.Find the magnitude of the wind velocity. 2.Find the direction of the wind velocity. Express your answer as an angle measured south of west
