Question

An airplane is flying at an airspeed of 345 km/h on a heading of 040 degrees. The wind is blowing at 18 km/h from a bearing of 087 degrees. Determine the ground velocity of the airplane. Include a diagram in your solution.

Answer 1

@MarissaG do you know what 'bearing' means here?

Answer 2

Sorry, it's supposed to say "345 km/h on a heading of 040 degrees"

Answer 3

Now can you make the diagram of airplane velocity vetor and wind velocity vector.

Answer 4

\[v_{pg}=v_{pa}+v_{ag}\] All in vector form,

Answer 5

I don't understand what you mean
