170 degrees, and is cruising at 250 km/hr. It is encountering a wind blowing from the south/west at 50 km/hr. a)Draw a vector diagram (free body or closed loop) b)Determine the aircraft’s ground velocity (magnitude and direction – standard bearing please!). Round final answers to 1 decimal place. c)If the flight took off about 5 hours, how far is this “secret” island from the airport?
Kristopher entered Ms. Chang’s calculus class in a contest. The prize is a trip to a “secret” island. Guess what? We won! So the whole class is “off” to the “secret” island on an airplane. This airplane is on a heading 170 degrees, and is cruising at 250 km/hr. It is encountering a wind blowing from the south/west at 50 km/hr.
a)Draw a vector diagram (free body or closed loop)
b)Determine the aircraft’s ground velocity (magnitude and direction – standard
bearing please!). Round final answers to 1 decimal place.
c)If the flight took off about 5 hours, how far is this “secret” island from the airport?
