- Suppose you first walk 9.5 m in a direction 20.0° west of north and then 17.5 m in a direction 40.0° south of west. Part A: How far are you from your starting point in meters? Part B: What is the angle, in degrees, of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured south of west? Part C: Repeat part A, but for the magnitude of the displacement in meters for the second leg where you walk 17.5 m in a direction 40.0° north of east. Part D: Repeat part A, but now you first walk 9.5m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 17.5 m in a direction 20.0° east of southarrow_forwardUse your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve the problem.A plane has an airspeed of 185 miles per hour and a heading of 30.0°. The ground speed of the plane is 221 miles per hour, and its true course is in the direction of 40.0°. Find the speed and direction of the air currents, assuming they are constants.
