A plane has an airspeed of 400 mph . The pilot wishes to reach a destination 900 mi due east, but a wind is blowing at 60 mph in the direction 40 ∘ north of east. In what direction must the pilot head the plane in order to reach her destination? How long will the trip take?
What bearing and airspeed are required for a plane to fly 540 miles due north in 3.0 hours if the wind is blowing from a direction of 331 degrees° at 14 mph?
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,...
2 Main Question A plane has an airspeed of 200 mph. The pilot, Rodrigo, wishes to fly directily east to a destination 600 miles away, but a wind is blowing at 50 mph at an angle of 30° north of east. a) Draw a sketch of all three relative velocities on the axes to the right, showing how one is the vec- tor sum of the other two. b) What direction should Rodrigo fly the plane? c) How long will...
7. The compass in a plane indicates that it is headed due east. Its airspeed indicator reads 215 km/h. (Airspeed is speed relative to the air.) A steady wind of 65.0 km/h is blowing due north (a) What is the velocity of the plane with respect to the ground? (b) If the pilot wishes to fly due east, what must be the heading? Answer l (a) v = 225km/h; θ= 16.8°; (b). U /h; θ 17.60. - 205km
An airplane is flying with a constant altitude at a speed of 475 mph in a direction 25° north of west directly towards its final destination. The airplane then encounters wind blowing at a steady 30 mph in a direction 85° north of east. Yes a. Start by drawing a vector diagram for this situation. Did you draw a diagram? Great! Your diagram might look something like this: Wind New Path Original Path b. If the pilot does not correct...
D Question 5 5 pts A jet airliner moving at 500 mph due west moves into a region where the wind is blowing at 120 mph in a direction 30.0 north of east. What is the new velocity and direction of the aircraft? O 607 mph, 5.67 N of E O 388 mph, 4.87° W of N O 396 mph, West O 401 mph, 8.61 N of W
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
An airplane has a destination 210 miles due south. It is traveling south at 105 mph There is a wind from the east at 22 mph If the pilot doesn�t account for the wind, how far off course will he be
plz dont skip steps (1 pt) A plane is heading due west: its nose points towards the west direction, but its trajectory on the ground deviates from the west direction due to a sideways component of the wind. The plane is also climbing at the rate of 120 km/h (height increase per unit time). If the plane's airspeed is 550 km/h and there is a wind blowing 90 km/h to the northwest, what is the ground speed of the plane?...
