An airplane flies horizontally from east to west at 266 mi/hr relative to the air. If it flies in a steady 36 mi/hr wind that blows horizontally toward the southwest ​(45° south of​ west), find the speed and direction of the airplane relative to the ground.   The speed of the airplane is approximately? the direction of the airplane relative to the

A vessel sets out from Delfzijl, The Netherlands, heading due north at 9.5 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0° north of east. What is the angle of the velocity of the vessel relative to the Earth in degrees N of E?

A jet airliner is moving east at 225 m/s, but experiences a head wind heading north at 50.0 m/s.   b) When determining speed of the airliner, does it have to do with calculating speed, based on the two "givens" to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle?

A boat is traveling upstream at 13 km/h with respect to the water of a river. The water is flowing at 8.0 km/h with respect to the ground. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity with respect to the ground? A child on the boat walks from front to rear at 6.0 km/h with respect to the boat.What are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the child's velocity with respect to the ground? (a) Number (b) i (c) Number i (d) î Units Units î î

A boat is traveling upstream at 12 km/h with respect to the water of a river. The water is flowing at 7.0 km/h with respect to the ground. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the boat's velocity with respect to the ground? A child on the boat walks from front to rear at 6.0 km/h with respect to the boat. What are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the child's velocity with respect to the ground? (a) Number i (b) (c) Number (d) Units Units

An Olympic diver is on a diving platform 5.20 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 1.3 m/s in the horizontal direction. What is the diver's speed, in m/s, just before she enters the water? m/s

A migrating salmon heads in the direction N 45° E swimming 8. 5 mi/hr relative to the water. The ocean currents in the area flow due East at 3 mi/hr. Find the true velocity of the fish as a vector and find its speed, the magnitude of this velocity vector.

A sailboat moving in the direction shown is tacking to windward against a north wind. The log registers a hull speed of 6.7 knots. A "telltale" (light string tied to the rigging) indicates that the direction of the apparent wind is 33° from the centerline of the boat. What is the true wind velocity vw? 6.7 knots 430 330 Vw knots Answer: vw = i

An airplane has an airspeed of 590 km/h bearing 49° north of east. The wind velocity is 60 km/h in the direction 32° north of west. Find the resultant velocity representing the path of the airplane with respect to the ground. What is the actual ground speed of the aircraft? km/h (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

A plane is headed due west with an air speed of 207 m/s. The wind blows south at 20.0 m/s. Find the velocity of the plane relative to the earth.To solve this problem it will be necessary to determine the plane's velocity relative to the the air. What is the plane's east-west velocity relative to the air? (Define the positive direction to be east.)Additionally, to solve this problem it will be necessary to determine the air's velocity relative to the earth. What is the air's north-south velocity relative to the earth? (Define the positive direction to be north.)
