A jet is flying due north relative to the ground. The speed of the jet relative to the ground is 155 m/s. The wind at the jet’s altitude is 40.0 m>s toward the northeast (45.0 north of east). Find the speed of the jet relative to the air (its airspeed) and the direction in which the pilot of the jet must point the plane so that it travels due north relative to the ground.

The 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?
The eye of a hurricane passes over Grand Bahama Islandin a direction 60.0° north of west with a speed of 41.0 km/h.Three hours later the course of the hurricane suddenly shiftsdue north, and its speed slows to 25.0 km/h. How far fromGrand Bahama is the hurricane 4.50 h after it passes over theisland?

1)An airplane starting from airport A flies 300 km east, then 350 km at 30.0° west of north, and then 150km north to arrive finally at airport B. (a) The next day, another plane flies directly from A to B in astraight line. In what direction should the pilot travel in this direct flight? (b) How far will the pilot travelin this direct flight?
An airplane is travelling at 620 km/h on a heading of 305°. The wind of 80 km/h is flowing from a bearing of 260º. Determine the ground velocity of the boat. You can use trigonometry method or rectangular components method, but the final answer needs to be written in the same form as the original question.
