Question

A jet airliner moving initially at 2.60 ✕ 102 mi/h due east enters a region where the wind is blowing at 1.00 ✕ 102 mi/h in a direction 25.0° north of east. (Let the x-direction be eastward and the y-direction be northward.)

(a) Find the components of the velocity of the jet airliner relative to the air, 
vJA.

vJA,x = ? mi/h
vJA,y =  ? mi/h

(b) Find the components of the velocity of the air relative to Earth, 
vAE.
vAE,x =  ?mi/h
vAE,y =  ?mi/h

(c) What are the speed and direction of the aircraft relative to the ground?
magnitude      mi/h
direction      ° north of east
