A plane is travelling at 200 mi/h with respect to the air in the direction of the wind. The wind is blowing at 35 mi/hr. A) What is the velocity of the plane with respect to the Earth? B) A passenger on the plane walks from the front to back at 3 mi/hr with respect to the plane. What is the passenger’s velocity with respect to the Earth?
Velocity of plane with respect to earth = velocity of plane with
respect to air + velocity of air/wind
V(plane) = V(pa) + Va
Plane is flying in the direction of wind, so sign of both, V(pa) and Va is same.
V(plane) = 200 + 35 = 235 mi/h
Velocity of passenger with respect to earth = velocity of
passenger with respect to plane + velocity of plane
V(passenger) = V(pp) + V(plane)
As passenger walks from front to back of plane, its velocity with
respect to plane is in the diection opposite to velocity of
plane.
V(passenger) = - 3 + 235 = 232 mi/h

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?

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?...
A plane with air speed of 620 km/h is supposed to fly iin the direction of 27 degrees north of east. A wind is blowing from east at a speed of 110 km/h. In what direction should the pilot head the plane?
