Applying Vectors in the Plane Answers

Choose the correct approximation for the magnitude of the resultant vector.

The ground speed, G, of the plane is given by .

How far is the ship from the port, and what is its bearing?

are the component forms for the air and wind vectors.

Choose the correct approximation for the direction angle the resultant vector makes with the horizontal force.

An airplane is flying in the direction of 30 degrees South of East at 500 mph. A wind is blowing in the direction of 45 degrees North of East at 55 mph. Find the direction angle of the airplane’s path, adjusted for the wind.

Select the correct ground speed for the plane (rounded to the nearest mph).

An airship flies in a direction of 20 degrees North of West at 420 mph. It encounters a 25 mph wind that is heading 17 degrees East of South. Its ground speed of 405.4 mph can be calculated. Equation below is used to find the drift angle of the airship. A. B. 4202 = 252 + 405.42 – 2(25)(405.4)cos(A) C. c2 = 4202 + 405.42 D. The value of the drift angle is .

The applied forces have different magnitudes. What is the larger magnitude of these forces?

The compass of an airplane indicates that it is headed due north, and its airspeed indicator shows that it is moving through the air at 240 km/hr. If there is a wind of 100 km/hr from west to east, what is the velocity of the airplane?
