An airplane flying into a headwind travels the 1830-mile flying distance between two cities in 3 hours. On the return flight, the airplane travels this distance in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Find the airspeed of the plane (in mi/h) and the speed of the wind (in mi/h), assuming that both remain constant.

A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10° to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 500 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 11 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 625 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
An airplane begins its journey into Canada from a destination located 285 mi south of the border. The plane flies along a straight-line path at 189 mi/h in a direction of 20.5 degrees west of north. Determine the number of minutes before the plane crosses the border. Assume that the border is aligned directly east and west in the region where the flight takes place.

A high-tech drone flies over Miami, FL in a direction 50.4 west of north with a speed of 35.4 km/h. Three hours later, the drone suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to 19.2 km/h. How far (in kilometers) from Miami, FL is the drone 4.50 h after it passes over the Miami. Round your answer to 0 decimal places.
An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. What is the average speed for the trip?
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.31 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.93 km with an average velocity of 2.06 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.688 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?
An airplane travels at 302 mi/h south for 4.00 h and then at 313 mi/h north for 702 miles. What is the average speed for the trip? Express answers in mi/h.
An automobile travels along a rectilinear path with an initial speed of 43.5 miles per hour. If it is accelerating at a constant rate of 3728 miles/h², how many minutes will pass before it reaches 75 miles per hour? Determine the distance travelled immediately after reaching this speed.
Abdul, while driving to school. computes the average for his trip to be 20km/h. On his return trip along the same route, there is less traffic and the average speed is 40km/h. What is the average speed for Abdul's trip?
An airplane leaves the runway heading south and flies for 2000km. It then heads 20 degree west to avoid a storm. After flying for 500km, it turns 40 degree toward the east and flies another 400km to its final destination. Calculate the displacement of the plane;s destination and the distance it travelled.
