Alright, let's break down this problem step by step to find the final bearing and ground speed of the airplane.
**1. Represent the Velocities as Vectors:**
* **Airplane's Velocity (relative to air, $\mathbf{v}_a$):**
* Magnitude: 210 mi/h
* Direction: N 30° E. This means 30° east of the north direction. In terms of a standard Cartesian coordinate system (where the positive x-axis is East and the positive y-axis is North), the angle with respect to the positive x-axis is $90^\circ - 30^\circ = 60^\circ$.
* Vector form:
$$\mathbf{v}_a = \langle 210 \cos(60^\circ), 210 \sin(60^\circ) \rangle = \langle 210 \cdot \frac{1}{2}, 210 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \rangle = \langle 105, 105\sqrt{3} \rangle$$
* **Wind's Velocity ($\mathbf{v}_w$):**
* Magnitude: 30 mi/h
* Direction: West. This means it's along the negative x-axis.
* Vector form:
$$\mathbf{v}_w = \langle -30, 0 \rangle$$
**2. Determine the Ground Velocity ($\mathbf{v}_g$):**
The ground velocity of the airplane is the vector sum of its velocity relative to the air and the velocity of the wind:
$$\mathbf{v}_g = \mathbf{v}_a + \mathbf{v}_w = \langle 105, 105\sqrt{3} \rangle + \langle -30, 0 \rangle = \langle 105 - 30, 105\sqrt{3} + 0 \rangle = \langle 75, 105\sqrt{3} \rangle$$
**3. Calculate the Ground Speed (Magnitude of $\mathbf{v}_g$):**
The ground speed is the magnitude of the ground velocity vector:
$$|\mathbf{v}_g| = \sqrt{(75)^2 + (105\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{5625 + 105^2 \cdot 3} = \sqrt{5625 + 11025 \cdot 3} = \sqrt{5625 + 33075} = \sqrt{38700}$$
$$|\mathbf{v}_g| \approx 196.72 \, \text{mi/h}$$
**4. Determine the Final Bearing (Direction of $\mathbf{v}_g$):**
The direction of the ground velocity vector can be found by calculating the angle it makes with the positive x-axis (East). Let this angle be $\alpha$.
$$\tan(\alpha) = \frac{\text{y-component}}{\text{x-component}} = \frac{105\sqrt{3}}{75} = \frac{7\sqrt{3}}{5} \approx 2.4249$$
$$\alpha = \arctan\left(\frac{7\sqrt{3}}{5}\right) \approx 67.65^\circ$$
This angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis (East). To express this as a bearing (relative to North or South), we need to convert it:
* Since the x-component (East) is positive and the y-component (North) is positive, the direction is in the Northeast quadrant.
* The angle with respect to the North direction is $90^\circ - \alpha$:
$$90^\circ - 67.65^\circ \approx 22.35^\circ$$
Since the angle is east of North, the final bearing of the plane is approximately N $22.35^\circ$ E.
**Summary of Results:**
* **Ground Speed:** Approximately $196.72$ mi/h
* **Final Bearing:** Approximately N $22.35^\circ$ E
Let me know if you'd like any part of this calculation explained in more detail!

In January, February, March and April of 2025, @CPhill (which is the synonym of the Google AI)
posted 1941 solved problems to this forum.
He posted them at the rate of 25-30 solved problems per day.
Some of them (many of them) were solved incorrectly.
During these months, I tried to check the incoming problems, but, surely, been a human, not a
computer tool, I was not able to check all of them at the same rate.
Therefore, starting from the end of April 2025, and during May and June 2025, I checked
the remaining problems- those of them where I was competent to check.
I did not check the advanced Statistics problems, since I am not an expert in this field.
I also did not check advanced Finance problems, where I am not an expert.
But I checked a lot of other problems.
So, this file below contains the list of problems that (in my opinion) are solved incorrectly by @CPhill.
This list contains 151 incorrectly solved problems, so far.
For most of them, I placed my correct solutions.
Now some statistical counts.
As I said, the full number of solutions posted by @CPhill was 1941.
Of them, a huge portion were advanced statistics problems, which I did not check.
Their number was 2/3 or 3/4 of all problems - I did not count them.
Also, I did not check advanced Finance problems.
I think (I estimate approximately) that I checked from 500 to 600 problems,
As I said, so far the number of incorrect solutions is 151.
This number 151 does not cover all erroneous solutions by @CPhill - the number
of his erroneous solutions is more: I could miss some of them.
But this ratio "wrong to checked" = "151 to 500 or to 600" is HUGE.
It characterizes the level of this modern/contemporary version of this AI.
********************************************
Surely, it is unacceptable level for an AI.
********************************************
I am not an enemy to AI. But I want we all have right/correct understanding of what is the AI now
in solving school Math problems.
So, I hope that this my huge work on checking this AI is useful both for visitors of this site,
as well as for the developers of this AI.
Probably, in the future I will return to this checking, and then this list of erroneously solved problems will become greater.

Triplets Peter, Reeta and Nikita have two ways for getting home from school each day: cycle on a tandem bike or walk.
The bike can carry either one or two riders at a time. Regardless of the number of people pedalling, cycling speed
is 5 times walking speed. The triplets always leave school at the same time and always use the same path between school
and home, whether walking or cycling. The school is 5 km from home and their walking speed is 4 kilometres per hour.
a) On Monday, Nikita and Peter cycle and Reeta walks. On reaching the point four-fifths of the way home the bike gets a puncture,
so Nikita and Peter walk the rest of the way home. How far from school is Peeta when the cyclists arrive home?
b) On Tuesday, Peter and Reeta ride the bike and Nikita walks. When the cyclists arrive home, Peter hops off the bike and Reeta rides back
towards school to collect Nikita. How far from school is Nikita when Reeta reaches her?
c) On Wednesday, Reeta and Nikita take the bike and Peter walks. When the cyclists are halfway home, Reeta hops off and walks the rest of the way,
while Nikita heads back to pick up Peter. How far from school is Reeta when her siblings pass her on the bike?
d) On Thursday, it is Reeta's turn to walk. Peter drops Nikita off at a certain point leaving her to walk home. Meanwhile he returns to pick up Reeta
and they cycle home together. If all three arrive home at the same time, how far from school are the drop-off and pick-up points?

A company claims to have invented a device that can measure the momentum of objects inside it with extreme
accuracy. The device fits within a matchbox, and the claimed precision with which it can measure momentum is
δp = ±10^−26kg ms^−1
Explain why the claimed performance cannot possibly be accurate, and estimate the smallest possible size of a
device with such momentum precision, according to laws of quantum physics.
