A plane is initially flying at a speed of 350 mph east, when it runs into a stormy area where the wind blows at 90 mph in the direction 30.0° north of east. Calculate the new speed (in mph) and direction (in degrees north of east) of the plane relative to the ground. (Enter your answer accurate to at least one decimal place.) speed mphdirection ° north of east (b) What If? In what direction (in degrees south of east) should the plane aim to move so that its net speed is eastward despite the wind? What would be the speed (in mph) of the plane relative to the ground in this case?

You are driving south along the shore of the Mississippi River. At this point it is flowing due South. You notice a prominent radio tower right on the far shore, at a bearing of 115 degrees. You drive on for 2 miles and notice that now the radio tower appears at a bearing of 55 degrees. You figure that at this point the Mississippi river is -------- miles wide. Round to two decimal places.
