Question 391010: A jet is traveling west at 650 kph. What is its velocity if there is a wind of of 35 kph coming from the south Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming 650 km/hr is the air speed:
=~ 650.94 km/hr
or ~ 651 km/hr
---------------
Its ground track is 270º + arctan(35/650)
=~ 273.1º
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.
