Question

A jet airliner moving initially at 3.15 * 102 mi/h due east enters a region where the wind is blowing at 1.00 * 102 mi/h in a direction 36.0° north of east. (Let the x-direction be eastward and the y-direction be northward.)
(a) Find the components of the velocity of the jet airliner relative to the air, JA.
vJA,x = mi/h
vJA,y = mi/h

(b) Find the components of the velocity of the air relative to Earth, AE.
vAE,x = mi/h
vAE,y = mi/h

(c) Write an equation analogous to AB = AE - BE for the velocities JA, AE, and JE. (Use the following as necessary: AE and JE. In the given equation, BE is the velocity of observer B relative to observer E. Object A travels with velocity AB relative to observer B, and velocity AE relative to observer E.)
JA =

(d) What are the speed and direction of the aircraft relative to the ground?
magnitude mi/h
direction ° north of east

Explanation / Answer

relative to air=V jet-Vair
