(a) An airplane is flying in a jet stream that is blowing at 45.0 m/s in a direction 16° south of east. Its direction of motion relative to the earth is 45.0° south of west, while its direction of travel relative to the air is 9° south of west. What is the airplane's speed relative to the air mass in meters per second (m/s)?

(b) What is the airplane's speed relative to the Earth in meters per second? (m/s)

    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...

    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.
