Question

A plane is heading due south with an airspeed of 297mph. A wind from a direction of 56° is blowing at 12mph. Find the bearing of the plane

Answer 1

add the two vectors

Answer 2

due south
297cos(-90)i
wind
12cos(56)i+12sin(sin(56)j
so we get
[297cos(-90)+12cos(56)]i+12sin(56)j

Answer 3

is there a way i can see the graph visually?

Answer 4

not really, you can see what the vectors do

Answer 5

now you just need the angle and magnitude of that vector^^^
