A jet airliner moving initially at 3.00 × 10² mi/h due east enters a region where the wind is blowing 1.00 × 10² mi/h in a direction 30.0° north of east. (a) Find the components of the velocity of the jet airliner relative to the air, vIA. (b) Find the components of the velocity of the air relative to Earth, VAE: (c) Write an equation analogous to Equation 3.11 for the velocities vIA, VAE, and VE. (d) What are the speed and direc- tion of the aircraft relative to the ground?

A pilot wants to fly due north, but finds that he must direct his plane 19.0° to the east to accomplish this. If the plane's air speed is 200 km/h, and the wind is from the east, what is the wind speed in km/h?
A field biologist is studying the migration patterns of northern gannets (a type of seabird). On one particularday, she records that they fly 5.0 km northeast, then turn toward to the south of east by 30 degrees and fly 4.0 kmin the new direction. How far north or south of their original position are the birds?
