The heading of an object is the angle, measured clockwise from due north, to the vector representing the intended path of the object. Example 4 A plane is flying with an airspeed of 185 miles per hour and a heading of 12o* . The wind currents are running at a constant 32 miles per hour at 165 clockwise from due north Find the true course and ground speed of the plane? The heading of an object is the angle, measured...
(g) An airplane is flying at 300 miles per hour, heading 30 degrees North of East. (i) What are the magnitudes of the North and East components of the velocity? A wind from due North starts blowing at 40 miles per hour. () What is the new velocity of the plane?
A certain commercial jet plane uses a mean of 0.15 gallons of fuel per passenger-mile, with a standard deviation of 0.01 gallons. a. Find the mean number of gallons the plane uses to fly 8000 miles if it carries 210 passengers. b. Assume the amounts of fuel used are independent for each passenger-mile traveled. Find the standard deviation of the number of gallons of fuel the plane uses to fly 8000 miles while carrying 210 passengers. c. The plane used...
A plane flies at a constant groundspeed of 428 miles per hour due east and encounters a 36-mile-per-hour wind from the northwest. Find the airspeed and compass direction that will allow the plane to maintain its groundspeed and eastward direction. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) speed mph direction ° north of east
