An airplane is flying on a compass heading (bearing) of 170* at 460 mph. A wind is blowing with the bearing 200* at 80 mph. a. Find the component form of the velocity of the airplane. b. Find the actual ground speed and direction of the airplane Answer: a. v = 460 = b. Find the wind vector w = 80 = Velocity vector = v + w = Actual speed | |v + w| |V(- 528.19) 2 + (52. 52) #530.79 mph Actual direction: O = 180* + tan -528.19 52.52 -)= 95.68
