Chapter 4.1, Problem 26P
In Problems 23-30, assume that the plane’s new velocity is the vector sum or the plane’s original velocity and the wind velocity.
26. A plane is flying due north at 185 mi/h and encounters a wind from the west at 35.0 mi/h. What is the plane’s new velocity with respect to the ground in standard position?
