Question

A jet airliner moving initially at 3.35 ✕ 102 mi/h due east enters a region where the wind is blowing at 1.00 ✕ 102 mi/h in a direction 29.5° north of east. (Let the x-direction be eastward and the y-direction be northward.)

(a) Find the components of the velocity of the jet airliner relative to the air, 
vJA.

vJA,x =         mi/h
vJA,y =         mi/h

(b) Find the components of the velocity of the air relative to Earth, 
vAE.
vAE,x =                  mi/h
vAE,y =                  mi/h

 

 

(d) What are the speed and direction of the aircraft relative to the ground?

magnitude                     mi/h
direction                     ° north of east
