Is this vector addition or subtraction? Then solve: An airplane flies with a velocity of 55.0m/s [35°N of W] with respect to the air (this is known as air speed). If the velocity of the airplane according to an observer on the ground is 40.0m/s [53°N of W], what was the wind velocity?
A cannon ball is launched with a speed of 120 m/s at an angle of 30°. a) How fast is the cannonball moving when it reaches the highest point of its trajectory? b) How fast is the cannonball moving before it strikes the ground?
An airplane is travelling N30°E at an airspeed of 340 km/h when it encounters a wind blowing north at 100 km/h. Determine the resultant groundspeed of the airplane, magnitude only. Include a sketch. Show all steps. Round all answers to 1 decimal place if needed.
