If the plane has an eastward heading, and a 20 m//s wind blows towards the southwest, then the plane’s speed is –

An aeroplane is fluisg with velocity vec v_p (= 100 ms^(-1) towards East) with respect to ground through motionless air and vec v_w is the wind velocity with respect ot ground. The total velocity of aeroplane is vec v=vec v_P+ vec v_w The magnitude of the velocity is often called speed . the heading of the plane is the direction in which the nose of the plane is the direction is which th nose fo the plane points. In fact, it is the direction in which the engine propels the plane . Abswer the following questions : If the wind blow with velocity 25 ms^(-1) Norhtwards, the plane velocity is deflected from East by an angle.

A plane moves due east while the pilot points the plane somewhat south of east, toward a steady wind that blows to the northeast. The plane has velocity vecv_(PW) relative to the wind, with an airspeed (speed relative to the wind) of 215 km/h, directed at angle theta south of east. The wind has velocity vecv_(WG) is relative to the ground with speed 65.0 km/h, directed 20.0^@ cast of north. What is the magnitude of the velocity vec_(PG) of the plane relative to the ground, and what is theta ?

A particle is moving eastward with a velocity of 5m/s in 10 s the velocity changed by 5m/s northwards.The change in velocity is

An observer is travelling in east with a velocity of 2 m/s and observes that wind is blowing in north with a velocity of 2m/s. If observer doubles his velocity then find out the velocity of wind appears to observer ?

A boat is moving towards east velocity 4 m/s w.r.t still water and river is flowing towards north with velocity 2 m/s and the wind blowing towards north with velocity 6 m/s. the direction of the flag blown over by the wind hpisted on the boat is

The captain of a plane wishes to proceed due west. The cruising speed of the plane is 245 m/s relative to the air. A weather report indicates that a 38.0 m/s wind is blowing from the south to the north. In what direction, measured with respect to due west, should the pilot head the plane relative to the air?

A boat is moving towards south with veloctity 3 m//s with respect to still water and river is flowing towards east with velocity 3 m//s and the wind is blowing towards south-east with velocoity 3 sqrt2 m//s . The direction of the flag blown over by the wind, hoisted on the boat is :

Assertion: An observer is moving due east and wind appears him to blow from north. Then the actual direction of air blow must be towards south-east Reason: vecV_(R)=vecV_(A)-vecV_(M) where vecV_(R) is the relative velocity of wind w.r.t. man. vecV_(A)= actual velocity of wind (w.r.t. ground) and vecV_(M)= velocity of man w.r.t. ground.
