Question 1: A helicopter flies with an airspeed of 42.5 m/s [W]. If the wind is traveling with a velocity of 25.0 m/s [E30°S] relative to the ground then determine the velocity of the helicopter relative to the ground. a. Use the data from the question to determine the velocity components for the helicopter's speed relative to the air and the wind's speed relative to the ground. b. Use your velocity components from part (a) and determine the resultant velocity for each component. (In other words, determine the resultant horizontal component for the helicopter's ground speed and the resultant vertical component for the helicopter's

Question 1: A helicopter flies with an airspeed of 42.5 m/s [W]. If the wind is traveling with a
velocity of 25.0 m/s [E30°S] relative to the ground then determine the velocity of the helicopter
relative to the ground.
a. Use the data from the question to determine the velocity components for the helicopter's
speed relative to the air and the wind's speed relative to the ground.
b. Use your velocity components from part (a) and determine the resultant velocity for each
component. (In other words, determine the resultant horizontal component for the
helicopter's ground speed and the resultant vertical component for the helicopter's
ground speed).
c. Using your data, determine the resultant velocity of the helicopter relative to the ground.
