Solved in 2 steps
- An airplane has an airspeed of 590 km/h bearing 49° north of east. The wind velocity is 60 km/h in the direction 32° north of west. Find the resultant velocity representing the path of the airplane with respect to the ground. What is the actual ground speed of the aircraft? km/h (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)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?A boat whos speed in still water is 5.0m/s headed west across a river. The river current is 2.5m/s south. If the river is 2395 wide, how long does it take the boat to cross the river.
- A small ship capable of making a speed of 6.5 knots through still water maintains a heading due east while being set to the south by an ocean current. The actual course of the boat is from A to B, a distance of 8.3 nautical miles that requires exactly 1.6 hours. Determine the speed v. of the current and its direction 0 measured clockwise from the north.

If the ball lands on ground which is also at sea level, what was the range of the kick?A bee flies east at a speed of 1.00 m/s relative to air. The wind has a speed of 5.0 km/hr with respect to Earth in the direction 25° west of south. How long will it take the bee to cross a field that is 500m wide? 18 min 16 min 6.3 min 20 min The bee can not cross the field.
