Revolt · Accepted Answer

B: 402  mph

Question 6

An airplane is headed due south with an airspeed of 300 kph. A wind is blowing from the west at 120 kph. What is the ground speed and direction of the plane?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A: 323  kph with a directional bearing of  cap s 22 degrees cap e

Question 7

A plane flies at 350 mph in the direction 40 degrees north of east, with a wind blowing at 40 mph in the direction 30 degrees south of east. What is the plane’s drift angle?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A: 5.90 degrees

Question 8

A plane is traveling with an airspeed of 350 mph in the direction cap n 40 degrees cap e Let the plane’s ground speed equal x , which is affected by a 50 -mph wind blowing directly from the south. Which diagram represents this scenario?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A: Image with description On a coordinate plane, a vector labeled 350 miles per hour is 40 degrees from the y-axis in quadrant 1. Vector x is about 35 degrees from the y-axis. A vector labeled 50 miles per hour connects the terminal points of the 2 vectors.

Question 9

An airplane is traveling with an airspeed of 500 mph in the direction cap n 60 degrees cap e A wind blows directly south at 50 mph. What is the plane’s drift angle?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

C: 5.21 degrees

Question 10

A single-engine plane is flying at 30 mph in the direction cap n 60 degrees cap e A wind is blowing from west to east at 15 mph. Which diagram accurately represents the wind triangle for this plane?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

B: Image with description On a coordinate plane, a ground vector goes up and to the right. Air vector is higher than the ground vector and forms angle 60 degrees with the y-axis. Wind vector connects the terminal points of the vectors.
