Question

Plane Ride You are traveling on an airplane. The velocity of the plane with respect to the air is 160 m/s due east. The velocity of the air with respect to the ground is 41 m/s at an angle of 30° west of due north. " What is the speed of the plane with respect to the ground? 139.63 m/s Submit 2) What is the heading of the plane with respect to the ground? (Let 0 represent due north, 90° represents due east) East of due North Submit 3) How far east will the plane travel in 1 hour? m Submit (Survey Question)

Explanation / Answer

as components

x = 160 - 41*sin(30)=139.5

y = 41*cos(30) =35.5

so v = sqrt(139.5^2+35.5^2)=149.5

direction = arctan(35.5/139.5)=14.27 degrees

will travel 139.5*60*60=502200 m in an hour
