The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 27 m/s . The plane is in a 16 m/s wind blowing toward the southwest relative to the earth.
1) Letting x be east and y be north, find the components of Vp/E (the velocity of the plane relative to the earth).
2) Find the magnitude of Vp/E
3) Find the direction of Vp/E
-20. Two cyclists, Mike and Josh, simultaneously started toward each other
from two towns d = 24 km apart. Josh rode at vj = 25 km/h, and Mike

at UM = 15 km/h. The moment they start, a fly also starts from Josh
towards Mike and after reaching Mike, immediately returns towards
Josh. The fly continues back and forth motion between the cyclists till
the cyclists meet. Air speed of fly is UF = 30 km/h and the wind blows
always towards Mike with a constant velocity u = 10 km/h. Find the
total distance s flown by the fly.
