an airplane is pointing north and flying at 450 mi/hr relative to the air around it. the jet stream in which the plane is traveling is moving at 100 mi/hr in the NE direction. draw the plane's velocity vector relative to the ground what is the magnitude and direction of the airplane if the airplane increases its speed to 500 mi/hr how does that affect its velocity in the east west direction
