For this problem, you can think of the jet stream as a river of air. Across the United States, the jet stream usually moves from west to east. We will assume that the jet stream is moving in its usual direction at 9.00 x 101 km/hr. On a particular day, you need to pilot a plane from one city to another that is 4.50 x 102 km directly to the south. The top speed of the aircraft in still air is 285 km/hr. (a) Make a sketch to represent what is happening in this problem. Label all quantities that you know. (b) Using cardinal directions (north, east, south, west) to give a heading, which direction should you aim the plane to reach the city directly to the south at top speed? (c) How fast (in km/hr) would you be moving relative to the ground? (c) How much time (in hr) will it take you to reach your destination?
