    An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 390. km/h. If its wings are tilted at angle θ = 36.0° to the horizontal, what is the radius of the circle in which the plane is flying? Assume that the required force is provided entirely by an “aerodynamic lift” that is perpendicular to the wing surface. Use g = 9.81 m/s2.

    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?

    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...

    A certain airplane has a speed of 315.8 km/h and is diving at an angle of θ = 25.0° below the horizontal when the pilot releases a radar decoy (see the figure). The horizontal distance between the release point and the point where the decoy strikes the ground is d = 789 m. (a) How long is the decoy in the air? (b) How high was the release point? With units
