Consider a problem analogous to the varying wind velocities encountered by transcontinental aircraft. We assume a constant altitude, a plane earth a flight along the x axis from 0 to 10 units, no vertical velocity component, and no change in wind velocity with time. Assume ax to be directed to the east and ay to the north. The wind velocity at the operating altitude is assumed to be:
Determine the location and magnitude of (a) the maximum tailwind encountered; (b) repeat for headwind; (c) repeat for crosswind; (d) Would more favorable tailwinds be available at some other latitude? If so, where?

- Choose the right answerarrow_forwardThe magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 30 km/h. (This means that the direction from which the wind blows is 45° west of the northerly direction.) A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E at an airspeed (speed in still air) of 150 km/h. The true course, track, of the plane is the direction of the resultant of the velocity vectors of the plane and the wind. The ground speed of the plane is the magnitude of the resultant. Find the true course and the ground speed of the plane. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) true course.
