Ok, so I found his NE distance to be 1154.6km by Pythagoras.
Then: 1154.6km / 2.00h = 577.3km/h (the speed due NE).
Next: 577.3km/h - 620km/h = -42.7km/h as the wind speed... but it's WRONG. What am I doing wrong?
Ah, yes, that was a typo. I meant to say 542.5km/h. Thx for pointing out my mistake.
Btw, in your calculation of wind speed you subtracted 620km/h from 545.5km/h... It's supposed to be 542.5km/h, right? Then that means wind speed is -77.5km/h??
Homework Statement
A plane attains an airspeed of 620 km/hr. The plane sets out for a destination 1085 km to the north (a 0° course) but discovers that the plane must be headed 20° east of north to fly there directly. The plane arrives in 2.00 h.
What is the wind speed?
What is the direction...
Homework Statement
A speed trap is set up with two pressure activated strips placed across a highway, 128 meters apart. A car is speeding along at 28.8 meters per second, while the speed limit is only 19.6 meters per second. At the instant the car activates the first strip, the driver begins...
