- For Problems 37 through 42, use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve each problem. Speed and Direction A plane has an airspeed of 195 miles per hour and a heading of 30.0. The ground speed of the plane is 207 miles per hour, and its true course is in the direction of 34.0. Find the speed and direction of the air currents, assuming they are constants.arrow_forwardDetermine the values A in degrees and minutes that correspond to the following functions. secA=1.5753arrow_forwardA boat is traveling due east parallel to the shoreline at a speed of 10 miles per hour. At a given time, the bearing to a lighthouse is S70E, and 15 minutes later the bearing is S63E (see figure). The lighthouse is located at the shoreline. What is the distance from the boat to the shoreline?arrow_forward
- An airplane is 90 miles south and 110 miles east of an airport. What bearing should the pilot take to fly directly to the airport?arrow_forwardTo a cyclist travelling due north along a straight road at 10km/h, the wind appears to come from the east. When he increases his speed to 15km/h, the wind appears to come from the direction N67°E. Find the speed and the direction of the wind over the ground.arrow_forwardThe flight path of a plane is a straight line from city J to city K. The roads from city J to city K run 9.4 miles south and then 15.1 miles east. How many degrees east of south is the plane's flight path, to the nearest tenth? 9.4 15.1 K. degrees east of south from city J to city K. = [value1] °arrow_forward
- Eratosthenes noticed that the shadow’s length was 1/8 the pole’s height. Suppose thepole’s height was ℎ = 2 and the shadow’s length was , = 0.25 . Calculate the anglebetween the Sun’s ray and the pole’s axis in degrees: - = XXXXXXXXXX . Expressthe same angle in radians: - = XXXXXXXXXX .1.7. Recall the beam of light travelling down the well in Syene. Extend that beam to thecenter of Earth. Also extend the pole’s axis to the center of Earth. These two extensionsare represented by dashed lines in Figure 1. The intersection of these two lines formsan angle . at the Earth’s center. Use basic geometry to find the relation between angles. and -. Calculate the angle . in radians: . = XXXXXXXXXX .arrow_forwardh 50° 6.arrow_forwardM.SAU = %3D T 80° 118° S •Zarrow_forward
