An airplane has a ground velocity of 400 km/h, [N60°E] and an air velocity of 340 km/h, [N40°E]. Determine the magnitude of the wind and the direction it is coming from. Include a well labeled diagram.

3. It is September of 1936, and the Kenyan aviatrix Beryl Markham is attempting the first solo flight of the Atlantic from east to west in a specially outfitted Vega Gull, against the prevailing winds of the North Atlantic jet stream. Her plan is to fly from London to New York, proving the potential for commercial airline routes. Her initial heading (direction she points the nose of the plane) is 288 degrees. Note, in navigation, directions are measured clockwise from north At 10,000 feet, the winds are going southwesterly at 235 degrees with wind velocity of about 50 knots. The Vega Gull flies at a top airspeed of 150 knots (relative to still air). What direction is she flying relative to the ground? What will be the plane's groundspeed, i.e., the plane's speed relative to the ground?

Round to the hundredth place. Flights 104 and 217 are both approaching Norfolk International Airport from opposite directions at the same altitude of 2.5 miles. The pilot of flight 104 sees the airport by looking down at an angle of 17°47' and the pilot on flight 217 see it by looking down at an angle of 12°39'. How far apart are the two planes? miles

Is the following statement true or false? Explain. If the wind is blowing from the southwest, then the bearing for the wind vector is 225°. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement is true because a wind blowing from the southwest would cause the air to travel northeast, which would be a vector represented by a 225° angle. B. The statement is false because a wind blowing from the southwest would cause the air to travel northeast, which would be a vector represented by a 45° angle. C. The statement is false because southwest would be represented on the unit circle by a vector pointing into the middle of quadrant 1, which is a 45° angle. D. The statement is true because southwest would be represented on the unit circle by a vector pointing into the middle of quadrant 3, which is a 225° angle.

A ship sets out to sail to a point 142 km due north. An unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 130 km due east of its starting point. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (as an angle from due east, where north of east is a positive angle) must it now sail to reach its original destination?

A boat leaves Kingston and travels due east for 25 km. At the same time, a second boat leaves Kingston travelling 30° south of east for 15 km. How far apart are the two boats when they reach their destination? (Please use cosign law sign law soh cah toa or the pythagorean therom pls and thank u)

An airplane is flying to a city due west from its current location. If there is a slight wind blowing to the southwest, in what direction must the plane head (that is, in what direction must it point)? Explain your answer using a diagram

An aircraft takes off from Seattle (latitude 47.45 degrees north) on a great circle route. What must the azinkith be, at takeoff, such that the most northerly point on the route is on the Arctic Circle (latitude 66.5 degrees north)? (degrees)

13. If I start in Greenville and drive 50 miles straight north and then turn and drive 100 miles straight west, how far away from Greenville am I. In what direction would I needed to have driven to get here directly?
