I Keep Getting 2 Different Answers. Please Help!
1. Plane has a speed of 200 km/h and heads due north; though, 100 km/h northeast wind blows. what is the resulting velocity of plane w/ respect to ground?
2. I keep getting two different answers (I've approached them 2 different ways). I get 147.36 km/h both times but the angle is different! I either get 118.07 degrees and 75.361 degrees. Can anyone confirm one of them?
3. TO get 118.67, I drew the vectors of (-70.71 and 129.29 km/h ---> also tan(x) = 129.29/70.71 ...For the other angle of 75.361, i had tan(x) = 270.711/70.711... BASICALLY I KEEP DRAWING IT DIFFERENTLY :/ Can anyone tell me which ones right?
