Applying Vectors in the Plane Answers

Choose the correct approximation for the magnitude of the resultant vector.

Choose the correct approximation for the direction angle the resultant vector makes with the horizontal force.

How far is the ship from the port, and what is its bearing?

An airplane is flying in the direction of 15 degrees North of East at 450 mph. A wind is blowing in the direction of 15 degrees South of East at 65 mph. Pick the correct diagram for this situation.

An airship flies in a direction of 20 degrees North of West at 420 mph. It encounters a 25 mph wind that is heading 17 degrees East of South. Its ground speed of 405.4 mph can be calculated.

An airplane is flying in the direction of 30 degrees South of West at 600 mph. A wind is blowing in the direction of 60 degrees North of East at 40 mph.

An airplane is flying in the direction of 30 degrees South of East at 500 mph. A wind is blowing in the direction of 45 degrees North of East at 55 mph. Find the direction angle of the airplane’s path, adjusted for the wind.

Select the correct ground speed for the plane (rounded to the nearest mph).

An airship flies in a direction of 20 degrees North of West at 420 mph. It encounters a 25 mph wind that is heading 17 degrees East of South. Its ground speed of 405.4 mph can be calculated.

The applied forces have different magnitudes. What is the larger magnitude of these forces?

The compass of an airplane indicates that it is headed due north, and its airspeed indicator shows that it is moving through the air at 240 km/hr. If there is a wind of 100 km/hr from west to east, what is the velocity of the airplane?
