For an airplane has an airspeed of 530 kilometers per hour bearing N45 degrees E,  the ground speed of the plane and its direction is mathematically given as

  • Vg=556.10km/hr
  • [tex]\theta=52.99East[/tex]

What is the ground speed of the plane and its direction?

Generally, the equation for the velocity of the plane is mathematically given as

[tex]Vp=Fcos\thetai+Fsin\theta j[/tex]

Therefore

Vp=530cos45i+530sin45j

Vp= 374.76i+374.76j

For wind speed

Vm=80cos(90+30)i+80sin(90+30)j

Vm=-40i+69.28j

Hence, there resultant is

Vr=Vm +Vp

Vr=374.76i+374.76j + 40i+69.28j

Vr=334.77i+1444.05j

In conclusion, the Ground speed is

[tex]Vg=\sqrt{334.77^2+1444.05^2}[/tex]

Vg=556.10km/hr

Direction

[tex]Tan \theta=\frac{444.05}{334.77}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=52.99East[/tex]
