1. An airplane flies with an airspeed (speed relative to the air) of 215
km/h. The wind is blowing at 45.0 km/h. Find the velocity of the
plane (relative to the ground) if the plane is pointed straight west and
the wind is:

A. blowing toward the
west (3 points)

B. blowing toward the east (3 points)

C. blowing toward the south (4 points)
(For part C be sure to calculate the angle as well.)

Answer:

Explanation:

A) 215 + 45.0 = 260 km/h West

B) 215 - 45.0 = 170 km/h West

C) √(215² + 45.0²) = 219.6588... 220 km/h

θ = arctan(45.0/215) = 11.8214... 11.8° S of W
