8) A certain aircraft can fly 1260 miles with the wind in 5 hours and travel...
A pilot can travel 468 miles with the wind in the same amount of time as 360 miles against the wind. Find the speed of the wind if the pilot's speed in still air is 230 miles per hour The speed of the wind is
A jetliner can fly 4.9 hours on a full load of fuel. Without any wind it flies at a speed of 3.46 x 102 m/s. The plane is to make a round-trip by heading due west for a certain distance, turning around, and then heading due east for the return trip. During the entire flight, however, the plane encounters a 43.0-m/s wind from the jet stream, which blows from west to east. What is the maximum distance (in kilometers) that...
The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 54-km/h wind blowing toward the south. If the speed of the aircraft relative to the air is 177 km/h, (a) in what direction (degrees north of west) should the aircraft head, and (b) what will be its speed (km/h) relative to the ground? Caution: The speed relative to the air is not the same as the speed relative to the ground. The pilot wishes to fly due west...
The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 41.0 km/h wind blowing toward the south. The speed of the aircraft relative to the air is 225 km/h. (a) In what direction should the aircraft head? (b)What will be its speed relative to the ground?
90) A boat can travel 9 mi downstream in the same amount of time it can travel 6 mi upstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 10 mph, find the speed of the current. 91) When the wind is blowing at 40 mph, a plane flying at a constant speed can travel 800 mi with the wind in the same amount of time it can fly 600 mi against the wind. Find the speed of the...
03.3 You fly an airplane to a city that is 800 miles to the west and 300 miles to the north of your starting point. The wind is blowing from east to west. Your plane has an airspeed of 200 mph and the trip takes 3.55 hours. a) In what direction did you aim the plane? b) What is the speed of the wind?
15. For an airport runway, the standard separate distance is 5 nautical miles. The leading aircraft speed is 150 knot and the trailing aircraft speed is 120 knot. What's the time (in minutes) between the two successive landing aircrafts if the distance from entry gate to the runway is 6 nautical miles? AT- 5 A: 3.1 120.3600 B. 4.1 C. 5.1 D. 2.1
thanks Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 2900 kilometers in 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 7420 kilometers in 7 hours. What is the rate of the plane in still air and what is the rate of the wind? Rate of the plane in still air: X o ? Rate of the wind:
5. An aeroplane intends to fly to a city that is 200 km due north of its current location. The plane can fly at 250 km/h in still air. A 100 km/h wind is blowing to the north west direction. The pilot forgets to take into account the wind and he heads due north. The pilot estimates his travel time without considering the wind. What is this time? Give your answer in hours. b) In what direction does the plane...
