The constant airspeed of Boeing 747 jumbo jet is per hour headed due north.
(a)
\Consider the direction north is along the positive -axis.
Therefore, the velocity of the 737 relative to the air is .
The velocity of the jet stream has magnitude
in northeast direction.
Hence the angle between the and
is
.
Therefore, the velocity in terms of
and
as
.
.
(b) Find the velocity of the 747 relative to the ground.
\The velocity of the 737 relative to the ground is
.
Substitute and
.
.
(c) Find the actual speed and direction of the 747 relative to the ground.
\The velocity relative to the ground id .
The standard form of the vector is .
Compare the vector with general form.
\.
Magnitude of the vector is
.
.
The direction angle is .
Substitute .
The angle is .
Therefore, the direction angle is .
(a) and
.
(b)
(c) and direction angle is
.
