Question

Ok ive been doing problems like this and most have beenrelative motion with a right angle. This one isnt and has mestumped, i think you can solve with law of sines/cosines or withstrictly vectors, just not 100% sure which or how to do it. Anyhelp is GREATLY appreciated. ------------- A small plane departs from point A heading for an airport atpoint B which is 520 km due north. The airspeed of the plane is 240km/h. There is a steady northwest wind (i.e., coming from thenorthwest) of 50.0 km/h. (again, a northwest wind is from thenorthwest, or 45 degrees above the negative (-) x-axis, to thesoutheast, or 45 degrees below the positive (+) x-axis) Note: airspeed is the speed of the plane relative to the air;groundspeed is the speed of the plane relative to the ground orover the ground; the heading of the plane is the direction, withrespect to north - i.e., angle E of N or W of N - that the plane isheading or pointing, irrespective of the plane's path across theground) The pilot corrects for the wind (changes his heading) so as toarrive at the airport at point B. For this to occur find: a.) the groundspeed of the plane? b.)the direction of its actual flight path over theground?__________(give angle E of N or W of N) c.)the time of flight (time to fly from point A to B) Please show all work for full points, will definitely ratehigh for such a big problem (100% respect) Ok ive been doing problems like this and most have beenrelative motion with a right angle.
