- A bird flying west has an air speed of 17 km/h. if there is a southeasterly wind of 9 km/h, find the magnitude of the true speed and direction of the bird relative to the ground. I found the magnitude of the true speed but I can't figure out the anglearrow_forwardA 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/harrow_forwardThe captain of a small plane starts his journey by proceeding east. The speed of the plane with respect to still air is160 km/h. A sudden north wind starts to blow at a constant speed of 71.0 km/h. As seen by people on the ground, what is the angle made between the direction of motion of the plane with repectto the east?arrow_forward
- A plane flies through wind that blows with a speed of 150 km/hr in the direction N 60° W. The plane has air speed of 500 km/hr and headed in the direction N 40° E.
