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...
5. A commercial passenger jet is flying with an airspeed of 185 miles per hour on a heading of 036°. If a 47-mile-per-hou wind is blowing from a true heading of 120°, determine the velocity and direction of the jet relative to the ground. a. 188.5 mph, 021° b. 186.1 mph, 021° c. 186.1 mph, 069 d. 195.6 mph, 069°
2. An airplane is heading due north at an airspeed of 950 km/h, but there is a constant wind blowing from the northeast at 100 km/h. We will use vectors to work out how far off course the plane is blown, and what its ground speed is. (a) Write down a vector, p, that represents the intended flight path of the plane in one hou. (b) Write down a vector, w, that represents the movement of a particle caught in...
An airplane is heading due north at a constant height with an airspeed of 950 km/h, but there is a constant wind blowing from the northeast at 100 km/h. We will use two-dimensional vectors to work out how far off course the plane is blown, and what its ground speed is. (a) Write down a vector, p, that represents the intended flight path of the plane in one hour. (b) Write down a vector, w, that represents the movement of...
(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?
1. if cos A = -1/5 and A is between 90 and 180 (degrees) , find sin A/2 2. A plane is flying with an airspeed of 180 miles per hour with a heading of 118 (degrees). The wind currents are a constant 28 miles per hour in the direction due north. Find the true course and ground speed of the plane
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
