Problem 58PE
(a) A jet airplane flying from Darwin, Australia, has an air speed of 260 m/s in a direction 5.0º south of west. It is in the jet stream, which is blowing at 35.0 m/s in a direction 15º south of east. What is the velocity of the airplane relative to the Earth? (b) Discuss whether your answers are consistent with your expectations for the effect of the wind on the plane’s path.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
The velocity of the jet airplane with respect to the air is given and the velocity of the air with respect to the earth is given, we have to calculate the velocity of the airplane with respect to the earth.
Then we have to discuss if the calculated velocity matches with our experiment.
