The text in the image reads:"The compass of an aircraft indicates that it is headed due east, and its airspeed indicator shows that it is moving through the air at 150 km/hr. After flying for 2 hours the aircraft is 350 km east and 74 km south of its starting point. What is the magnitude and direction of the wind velocity?"There are no graphs or diagrams to explain.

According to the question, Also, it is given that, V→pw=150 kmhr Here, V→pw is the velocity of…

The compass of an aircraft indicates that it is headed due east, and its airspeed indicator shows that it is moving through the air at 150 km/hr. After flying for 2 hours the aireraft is 350 km east and 74 km south of its starting point. What is the magnitude and direction of the wind velocity?

An airplane pilot wishes to fly to his destination 500 mi due west, but the wind is blowing at 28.7 mi/hr toward 25.7° north of west. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 169.1 mi/hr. At what angle (south of west) must the pilot orient the plane in order to fly to his destination directly? If the pilot orients the plane at that angle, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?
A pilot is in his plane with the intention of flying to Nunavut. From the current location, Nunavut is [N 9.0W]. The flight tracker estimates the distance from Toronto to Nunavut is approximate 3.0x103km. The plane hasthe capability to fly at an airspeed of 890 km/hr. The pilot aims the plane at a heading [N], and lands in Nunavutdirectly. If the flight takes 3.33 hrs to complete: a. What is the velocity of the plane relative to the Earth? b. What was the wind velocity present on that day?
