An airplane flies horizontally from east to west at 266 mi/hr relative to the air. If it flies in a steady 36 mi/hr wind that blows horizontally toward the southwest (45° south of west), find the speed and direction of the airplane relative to the ground. The speed of the airplane is approximately? the direction of the airplane relative to the ground is?

A bird flying west has an air speed of 17 km/h. if there is a southeasterly wind of 9 km/h, find the magnitude of the true speed and direction of the bird relative to the ground. I found the magnitude of the true speed but I can't figure out the angle
A sailboat is traveling east at 5.5 m/s. A sudden gust of wind gives the boat an acceleration a = (1.15 m/s2 25° north of east). What is the boat's speed 10.0 seconds later when the gust subsides and what is the boat's direction (in deg north of east) 10.0 seconds later when the gust subsides?
A plane is capable of flying 180 km/h in still air. The pilot, takes off from an airfield and heads due north according to the plane's compass. After 30 minutes of flight time, Captain notices that, due to the wind, the plane has actually travelled 80 km at an angle of N5°E. (You may assume that the wind velocity remains constant through the entire question.) a) What is the wind velocity? b) In what direction should the pilot have headed to reach the intended destination (due North) ○ ) If the original destination was 300km due N from her original starting point, what heading should Captain take now to adjust for the oversight and reach her destination? d) How much time did Captain waste because of this oversight?
1. Hurricane Iota is considered the strongest hurricane in history to hit Nicaragua. As Iota passed over Nicaragua, the eye of the hurricane moved with a velocity of 235 km/h in a direction 35.0" south of east. The course of the hurricane then shifts direction, 25.5° north of east with a velocity of 249 km/h. Determine: a) The resultant velocity in unit vector notation, b) The magnitude of the resultant velocity, and c) The direction of the resultant velocity vector.
