AI Generated Solution

To find the direction of the plane relative to the ground, we can use vector addition to combine the velocity of the plane and the velocity of the wind. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the velocities - The velocity of the plane (\( V_p \)) is \( 400 \, \text{km/h} \) eastward. - The velocity of the wind (\( V_w \)) is \( 80 \, \text{km/h} \) southward. ### Step 2: Represent the velocities as vectors - We can represent the plane's velocity as a vector pointing in the positive x-direction (east). ...
