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.)

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
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...
The wind velocity v, is 40 miles per hour from east to west while an air speed v, of 100 miles per hour due north airplane travels with (a) Find the speed of the airplane relative to the ground, vi + v2. (b) If the plane starts at (1,3), what is it's position after 90 minutes? The wind velocity v, is 40 miles per hour from east to west while an air speed v, of 100 miles per hour due...
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...
