An airplane with an airspeed of 120 km/h has a heading of 30 degree east of North in a wind that is blowing toward the east at 6okm/h. What is the speed of the plane relative to the ground

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of plane relative to ground V_pg = ?

Given the velocity in vector form ,

velocity of plane relative to air V_pw = 120 cos30 i + 120sin30j

V_wg = 60 i

V_pg = V_pw +V_wg

= 120 cos30 i + 120sin30j + 60i

= 164 i + 60 j

magnitude

=251 km / h
