Consider an airplane that has a speed of 105km/h, flying in a 90km/h crosswind blowing from West to East. Calculate its ground velocity when its nose is pointed North in the crosswind.
horizontal velocity = 30 m/s east
vertical velocity = 40 m/s north
Calculate full velocity.
Town A lies 20 km north of town B. Town C lies 13 km west of town A. A small plane flies directly from town B to town C. What is the displacement of the plane? Please show the complete solution. Thanks!
