Assuming 650 km/hr is the air speed:

=~ 650.94 km/hr
or ~ 651 km/hr
---------------
Its ground track is 270� + arctan(35/650)
=~ 273.1�
You asked for velocity. Velocity is a vector with components of speed and direction.
---------------
PS Aviation and weather people us knots for speed, not km/hr or miles/hr.
