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
Homework Answers
Let east is +i and north is +j
velocity of the airplane relative to the ground = airplane's velocity relative to the air + wind velocity
velocity of the airplane relative to the ground = 220(-i) + 26j
magnitude = 221.5 km/hr
direction = tan-1 ( 26/220) = 83.25 north of west

An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 560 km/h . If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 65.0 km/h (average). Calculate magnitude of the plane's velocity, relative to the ground. Calculate direction of the plane's velocity, relative to the ground. Calculate how far from its intended position it will be after 15.0 min if the pilot takes no corrective action.
