A model airplane competition has the following rules: Each plane must fly to a point 1...
Plane flies 75 m/s Now imagine that you want to fly this 500+500 = 1000 km round trip along a north-south line, and the wind is 50 m/s per second from the west. At what angle will you have to align the plane so that it will move along a north-south line even though there is a cross wind of 50 m/s? If you are standing on the ground watching the plane fly with that cross-wind, the plane will look...
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?
The pilot of an airplane with a speed of 280 km/hr relative to the air, wishes to fly due east from the city A to city B. If a 35 km/hr wind blows from the south to the north, and the distance between the cities is 1, 500 km, A) what is the velocity ( magnitude and direction) of the plane relative to the ground, B) how long will the trip take?
An airplane has a speed of 265 km/h relative to the air. There is a wind blowing at 75 km/h at 30° north of east relative to Earth. In which direction should the plane head to land at an airport due north of its present location? ° west of north What is the plane's speed relative to the ground?
An airplane flies with a speed of 250 km / h with respect to the air. A wind blows at 80 km / h from the ground with a direction at 60 ° above the horizontal a) In which direction should the plane fly so that its direction is directly north? b) In that case, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?
Constants Part A An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 84.0 km/h is blowing toward the south ' the airspood of the plane Ots speed in sti. air) is 400.0 km/h . in which direction should the pilot head? Express your answer as an angle measured north of west north of west Submit Request Answer Part B What is the speed of the plane over the ground? km/h Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback
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...
A light airplane attains an airspeed (speed of the plane with
respect to the air) of 500km/hr. The pilot sets out for a
destination 800km due north, but discovers that the plane must be
pointed 20.0◦ east of due north for the plane to reach there
directly (i.e., the nose/front of the plane is pointed 20.0◦ east
of due north, but the plane itself moves due north as seen by
someone on the ground). The plane arrives in 2.00hr. P,...
An airplane has a speed of 270 km/h with respect to the air. There is a wind blowing at 65 km/h at 30° north of east with respect to Earth. In which direction should the plane head in order to land at an airport due north of its present location? What would be the plane's speed with respect to the ground?
A pilot wants to fly his plane at an air speed of 135 mph from point A to point B. Point B is 200 miles directly North of point A. Wind with constant speed of 30 mi/h blows from the Northwest to Southeast. What direction should the pilot point his plane in? What is the plane's speed relative to the ground? Hint: draw a vector diagram and add the two vectors together.
