A strong wind blows to the west at a speed of 38.7 mi/h relative to the ground causing a commercial plane to change course. What should be the plane's velocity in order to maintain a southward direction at a constant speed of 452 mi/h relative to the ground? PE

A pilot wishes to make a flight of 3.0x10? km [SW] in 0.75h. On checking with the meteorological office, she finds that there will be a wind of 82 km/h from the SOUTH for the entire flight. What heading and airspeed must she use for the flight?

After flying for 20 min in a wind blowing 39 km/h at an angle of 22° south of east, an airplane pilot is over a town that is 60 km due north of the starting point. What is the speed of the airplane relative to the air?

During a kick ball game, a ball is kicked with a velocity of 25m/s at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. How long us the ball in the air and how far does the ball travel?

A boat traveling across a river has a resultant velocity of 10 km/h and travels 34 degrees with respect to the shore.  A) What is the boats velocity in m/s?     B) What is the velocity of the river in m/s?

An airplane needs to head due north, but there is a wind blowing from the northwest at 40 km/hr. The plane flies at an airspeed of 800 km/hr, To end up due north, the pilot will need to fly the plane north degrees west of

A plane flies at an airspeed of 241 km/h. A wind is blowing at 78 km/h toward the direction 60° east of north. (a) In what direction should the plane head in order to fly due north relative to the ground?....................... ° west of north(b) What is the speed of the plane relative to the ground?........................ km/h

Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. One goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 30 km/h wind is blowing from west to east. At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground? How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 450 km from north to south? (Note: Even on cloudy nights, many birds can navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction.)

The pilot of an aircraft flies due north relative to the ground in  a wind blowing  80 km/h toward the east. If his speed relative to the air is 410 km/h, what is the magnitude of the velocity of his airplane relative to the ground? State the answer to the nearest tenth of the km/h.
