Use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve the problem. Two planes take off at the same time from an airport. The first plane is flying at 285 miles per hour on a course of 135.0°. The second plane is flying in the direction 175.0° at 357 miles per hour. Assuming there are no wind currents blowing, how far apart are they after 2 hours? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve the problem. A plane is flying with an airspeed of 140 miles per hour and heading 150°. The wind currents are running at 25 miles per hour at 165° clockwise from due north. Use vectors to find the true course and ground speed of the plane. (Round your answers to the nearest ten for the speed and to the nearest whole number for the angle.) mi/hr with heading
Use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve the problem.A plane is flying with an airspeed of 140 miles per hour and heading 150°. The wind currents are running at 30 miles per hour at 175° clockwise from due north. Use vectors to find the true course and ground speed of the plane.

Use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve the problem.A plane has an airspeed of 185 miles per hour and a heading of 30.0°. The ground speed of the plane is 221 miles per hour, and its true course is in the direction of 40.0°. Find the speed and direction of the air currents, assuming they are constants. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)mi/hr at ° from due north
You go on a long hike by first walking 25 km southeast (i.e., 45° south of east) from your car. You then stop and camp for the night. On the second day, you walk 40 km in a direction 60° north of east. In what direction, as measured from the position of your car, is your final position? (Give your answer to the nearest degree.)
A plane is flying with an airspeed of 165 miles per hour and heading of 145°. The wind currents are running at 20 miles per hour at 165° clockwise from due north. Use vectors to find the true course and ground speed of the plane. Round to the nearest whole number. True Course = Ground Speed= miles per hour
To get out of the harbor, a container ship sails at a bearing of 240° for 6 km before changing direction due north. If the container ship travels 15 km north from where it changed direction, what is the bearing of the ship relative to the starting point in the harbor?
A helicopter starts from an airport and takes the route described. The plane first flies to city A, located 175km away in a direction 30.0o north of east. Next, it flies for 150km 20.0o west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the distance of city C relative to starting point. (Write your final answer in 3 significant figures, include the unit in your final answer)
For pilots a flight direction (heading) is indicated by an angle associated with the compass rose (circle) where North is 000, East is 090, South is 180, West is 270 and North is also 360. A student pilot takes off from Lincoln Nebraska and flies 147 km on a heading of 085 to Clarinda Iowa. Then she flies from Clarinda to St. Joseph Missouri 106 km on a heading of 167. Finally, she flies from St. Joseph to Manhattan Kansas 166km on a heading of 235. She thinks Kansas is boring, so how far and with what heading must she fly to return to Lincoln?
A helicopter flew N78°W for 1.6 miles and then S64°W for 0.9 miles. a) How far is the helicopter from its starting position? b) What is the true bearing of the helicopter from its starting position?
Suppose you walk 12.5 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west then you walk 20.5 m in a direction exactly 42° west of north. How far are you from your starting point, in meters? What is the angle of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured North of West in degrees?
You go on a hike with some friends. First, you travel 1.7 miles in a direction due west. Then, you spend some time checking Twitter and not paying attention to where you're walking. Once you look back up from your phone, you are at a ranger station that is 2.1 miles in a direction 27 degrees west of north from your starting point. How far, and in what direction, did you travel while checking Twitter?
A Red Cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 115 km in the direction 195° from North.It drops off some relief supplies, then flies 135 km at 350° from North to pick up three medics.If the helicoper then heads directly back to headquarters, find the distance and direction (rounded to one decimal place) it should fly. The direction should be in degrees from north.
