You are flying in a light airplane spotting traffic for a radio station. Your flight carries you due east above a highway. Landmarks below tell you that your speed is 47.0 m/s relative to the ground and your air speed indicator also reads 47.0 m/s . However, the nose of your airplane is pointed somewhat south of east and the station's weather person tells you that the wind is blowing with speed 18.0 m/s .
1.
In which direction is the wind blowing?
Express your answer as an angle measured east of north.

Parts F and G - Flying with Cousin Dewey The brothers have a cousin Dewey who is a pilot, and who runs a crop dusting service. One windy day, Dewey gives the brothers a ride in his crop dusting plane. The brothers observe that they are flying due east, following the river, and by timing their passage over known landmarks along the riverbank, the boys are able to determine that their ground speed is 115.0 km/h . Dewey doesn't have a...

A small airplane is flying at a constant altitude with a ground speed of 75 m/s. The pilot needs to reach a point exactly 100 km north of her current location. However, there is a cross wind blowing at 20 m/s in a direction 30 degrees north of east. a. In what direction should the pilot point the plane so that she arrives at her destination as directly as possible. b. How long does it take to complete this part...

5. According to ground-based radar, an airplane is flying 15 degrees north of west at a speed of 100. mph. The weather report states that the wind is blowing in the southeast direction, i.e., 45 degrees south of east, with a speed of 35 mph. What is the airspeed of the plane? In other words, what is the speed of the plane relative to the air? Give your answer to 2 significant figures.

An airplane is flying with a constant altitude at a speed of 475 mph in a direction 25° north of west directly towards its final destination. The airplane then encounters wind blowing at a steady 30 mph in a direction 85° north of east. Yes a. Start by drawing a vector diagram for this situation. Did you draw a diagram? Great! Your diagram might look something like this: Wind New Path Original Path b. If the pilot does not correct...

An airplane is flying at 250 m/s due north, relative to air. There is a strong wind of 65 m/s blowing in a due east direction. Sketch a Vector Diagram showing the velocity of the airplane relative to the air, the velocity of the wind, and the final velocity of the plane relative to the ground. Use it to help you determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the plane relative to the ground.

A model airplane competition has the following rules: Each plane must fly to a point 1 km from the start and then back again. The point km winner is the plane with the shortest round-trip time. The contestants are free to launch their planes in any direction, so long as the plane travels exactly 1 km out and then returns. On the day of the race, a steady wind blows from the north at 8.5 m/s. Your plane can maintain...

Review. You are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As soon as the traffic light turns green, your car speeds up from est to 47.0 mifh with constant acceleration 8.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with a constant speed of 47.0 mih. At the same time, the cyclist speeds up from rest to 23.0 mi/h with constant acceleration 14.00 mi/h/s and thereafter moves with...

Background: Jerome and Paul are competitive brothers. They live on a small farm on the northern bank of a river that runs purely east and west and that flows to the east at a rate of 1.400 m/s . The brothers have run some time trials on the farm pond, and they know that, in still water, Jerome can paddle the family canoe at a steady rate of 2.950 m/s for a considerable length of time. When younger brother Paul runs a...
