Question 1172419: An airplane is traveling at a speed of 240 miles/hour with a bearing of 110°. The wind velocity is 56 miles/hour at a bearing of 325°. What are the plane's actual speed and direction angle? (hint: the direction angle is measured from the positive x-axis in a counter-clockwise direction)
a. The speed is 179.82 miles/hour, and the direction angle is 100.60°.
b. The speed is 179.82 miles/hour, and the direction angle is 349.40°.
c. The speed is 196.77 miles/hour, and the direction angle is 115.60°.
d. The speed is 196.77 miles/hour, and the direction angle is 349.40°. Answer by Solver92311(821) (Show Source):
The wind is coming from the plane's 2 o'clock relative. So the nose of the plane is going to be pushed slightly north and the direction angle will be slightly less than the given angle of 110 degrees.
